It should. BLS envisions two configurations: ESP only, contains all files; ESP \
contains bootloaders, XBOOTLDR contains /loader/entries and everything else. There \
isn't really a concept of one partition being both ESP and XBOOTLDR.
An argument could be made in favor of two ESPs instead of an ESP and XBOOTLDR, but \
whatever. I'm not going to make it.
