I suppose secure boot might fail but I am not using it in my Xen HVM.
I think the kernel and initrd would need to be digitally signed for
secure boot to be able to check them, and I think in Debian secure boot
only the grub boot loader is digitally signed, and my hack does not
change that. So it is possible Debian's secure boot would also work with
my hack to the initrd.
