That's fine. The purpose of writing down the requirements on the wiki is
to avoid misleading our users. We don't want them to think that Xen
works out of the box on Renesas RCar Gen3 H3 Salvator-X, when some
specific extra steps might be required. Even something as cumbersome as
using JTAG to load the firmware is fine, as long as it is documented.
With that in place, both Julien and I would be happy to have this patch
in the tree.
