A forked GRUB for virtualization purposes only would definitely not be 
critpath. And I'd argue that even a non-forked GRUB 1 SHOULD no longer be 
critpath now that we default to GRUB 2, but you'd have to bring that to 
FESCo.

(FWIW, IMHO, the whole critpath nonsense should be abolished, it only causes 
problems and solves none.)
