Custom "kernel" key in xen.cfg on USB install media

Browse Source 
Reviewing the HCL a lot of reporters had to install in legacy mode because UEFI mode would fail. For various reports, they used custom kernel parameters by changing the grub entry. This is frequent for recent hardware or some configurations (dual gpu,...).

With this procedure a user can perform UEFI install with custom kernel parameters

Troubleshooting UEFI related problems
========================================
Change installer kernel parameters in UEFI
---------------------
If you've installed successfully in legacy mode but had to change some kernel parameters for it to work, you should try installing in UEFI with the same kernel parameters.
Change the `xen.cfg` on a USB media
01. Attach the usb disk, find the EFI partition and mount it
02. Edit your xen.cfg changing the `kernel` key to add your kernel parameters on the boot entry of your choice
03. Install using your modified boot entry
You can also update an iso image, use `losetup` to isolate the EFI partition and mount it.
Cannot start installation, installation completes successfully but then BIOS loops at boot device selection, hangs at four penguins after choosing "Test media and install Qubes OS" in GRUB menu
