The problem we have run into when trying to implement 
automated assistance on image migrations between different 
backing store, is that the bootloader / initrd fixups are not 
deterministic and 'doable' as between grub, grub2, and other 
'first stage'

I would love a solution, but after much experimentation, I 
just don't see a good path to solving this in a general form.  
(it is not a many spokes to one common interchange format, and 
then one to new spoke transition, but rather a many to many 
problem)

Perhaps the libguestfs uplift mentioned for a few months from 
now with the RHEL 7.1 updates will help
