According to the Xen documentation the full path was only needed
for versions prior to 4.1: "Note: For older versions of Xen Project
software (4.1 or earlier) you need to know where in the filesystem

for the path themselves." [1]
Regardless of whether they know how to find the path, it is expected
that the libvirt XML is including/requiring the full path. So I'm
not really considering this a bug that needs fixing
- Is it required that all the libvirt XML files needing a bootloader
specify one? or
No. But if you don't specify one, you get /usr/bin/pygrub, which is similar to
xend's behavior.
- If the bootloader is specified, then it has to be a full path?
No.
If it is the former case, we have been running libvirt with xend without
specifying a bootloader in the XML files for a long time.
If not specified, xend sets bootloader to 'usr/bin/pygrub'.
We only have
found issues when we switched our hypervisors from xend to libxl.
What issues? AFAIK, only a warning in the log.

Jim
