Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/xen/efi: Init only efi struct members used by Xen

Current approach, wholesale efi struct initialization from efi_xen, is not
good. Usually if new member is defined then it is properly initialized in
drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c but not in arch/x86/xen/efi.c. As I saw it happened
a few times until now. So, let's initialize only efi struct members used by
Xen to avoid such issues in the future.
