There is certainly a lot of Xen fully virtualized config with
<loader>/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader</loader>.  But it sounds like your
change makes the "only needed by" part invalid.  I.e. <loader> is used
by Xen fully virtualized domains as well as setting the QEMU BIOS file
path for QEMU/KVM domains.
