Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] efi/libstub/fdt: Standardize the names of EFI stub parameters

[Shannon Zhao <zhaoshenglong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

From the comments on this patch, IIUC, we don't object to the change
brought by this patch. What we didn't reach an agreement is how to
support runtime service for Dom0. Right? If so, I think this patch
doesn't conflict with adding support for runtime service in the future.
So could we move this patch forward? Then I could continue working on
adding ARM ACPI support on Xen.

Any comments?

Thanks,
