Subject: [PATCH v4 13/17] ARM: Xen: Document UEFI support on Xen ARM virtual platforms

From: Shannon Zhao <shannon.zhao@...aro.org>

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 the "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to those in
+Documentation/arm/uefi.txt, which are provided by the regular UEFI stub. However
+they differ because they are provided by the Xen hypervisor, together with a set
+of UEFI runtime services implemented via hypercalls, see
+http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/hypercall/x86_64/include,public,platform.h.html.
