This all went perfectly smoothly until the last bit about updating grub. Now 
I'm in the middle of this conversion and there is no such grub.cfg file as 
stated in this guide (looks like an older MBR style partition scheme and 
standard grub2 config, there is no /etc/default/grub on my 3.2 UEFI system)

It's not easy finding info on the qubes UEFI boot process, or how to add the 
required kernel options. No manpage for efimanager in qubes either,

How do I update the boot process so it will use the cache? This guide was easy 
enough to follow until the very last step 6. What is the equivalent EFI process 
to grub2-mkconfig in Qubes?

Here's what I did, which "appears" to work, but I'm not sure as performance is 
about the same as it was before the cache was added. I hope it is only due to 
it being the first use, and subsequent uses will get progressively faster.

I noticed the kernel options in /boot/EFI/efi/qubes/xen.cfg. I added the line 
described in step 3 into the existing list, between the rd.luks for root and 
the one for swap. I also noticed the above process (specifically step 5) does 
not update the initramfs image in that folder. I had to copy it from /boot.

The BIOS on my system requires an /EFI/efi/BOOT folder, so I replicated the 
files from /boot/EFI/efi/qubes, renaming xen.* to BOOTX86.*

I sure wish there were a way to easily tell if this is working properly. Time 
for more googling it seems :)
