The ACPI/EFI tables could potentially have data in the cache but are not
written into the memory (because Xen is mapping the RAM with caching
enabled). However, DOM0 may decide to map it with cache disabled.
Therefore it would be possible for the domain to see wrong data.

So I think you need to clean the cache for this region.
Oh, that would be good. Is there any existing function I can use?

You could reuse p2m_cache_flush. However this function will only flush cache for p2m_ram_* entries.

I think the best way would be to extend the CACHEFLUSH operations and maybe p2m_cache_flush (?).
