I guess I need an explanation here. Aiui you don't really need
the definition to be in the linker script, and it could as well
be in e.g. assembly code. How does the same .equ approach not
work in this case?

Also I think the above will trigger the warnings Andrew had
mentioned (on irc?) from the code generating xen.efi's runtime
relocation table. Just like in

ASSERT(__2M_rwdata_end <= XEN_VIRT_END - XEN_VIRT_START + __XEN_VIRT_START -
                          NR_CPUS * PAGE_SIZE,
       "Xen image overlaps stubs area")

I think you need to adjust by __XEN_VIRT_START - XEN_VIRT_START.
