    arm/efi: Introduce xen,uefi-cfg-load DT property
    
    Introduce the xen,uefi-cfg-load DT property of /chosen
    node for ARM whose presence decide whether to force
    the load of the UEFI Xen configuration file.
    
    The logic is that if any multiboot,module is found in
    the DT, then the xen,uefi-cfg-load property is used to see
    if the UEFI Xen configuration file is needed.
    
    Modify a comment in efi_arch_use_config_file, removing
    the part that states "dom0 required" because it's not
    true anymore with this commit.

+UEFI boot and DT
+================
+
+When Xen is booted using UEFI, it doesn't read the configuration file if any
+multiboot module is specified. To force Xen to load the configuration file, the
+boolean property xen,uefi-cfg-load must be declared in the /chosen node.
