[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 13/17] ARM: Xen: Document UEFI support on Xen ARM virtual platforms

[Shannon Zhao <zhaoshenglong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Shannon Zhao <shannon.zhao@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a "uefi" node under /hypervisor node in FDT, then Linux kernel could
scan this to get the UEFI information.

+The format and meaning of these "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to those in
+Documentation/arm/uefi.txt which are used by normal UEFI. But to distinguish
+from normal UEFI, for Xen ARM virtual platforms it needs to introduce a Xen
+specific UEFI which requires Xen hypervisor to provide hypercalls for Dom0 to
+make use of the runtime services. Therefore, it defines these parameters under
+/hypervisor node.
