| 2022-11-18 | efi: xen: Set EFI_PARAVIRT for Xen dom0 boot on all architectures | Ard Biesheuvel | |
| Currently, the EFI_PARAVIRT flag is only used by Xen dom0 boot on x86, even though other architectures also support pseudo-EFI boot, where the core kernel is invoked directly and provided with a set of data tables that resemble the ones constructed by the EFI stub, which never actually runs in that case. Let's fix this inconsistency, and always set this flag when booting dom0 via the EFI boot path. Note that Xen on x86 does not provide the EFI memory map in this case, whereas other architectures do, so move the associated EFI_PARAVIRT check into the x86 platform code.

| 2022-11-18 | efi: memmap: Move manipulation routines into x86 arch tree | Ard Biesheuvel | |
| The EFI memory map is a description of the memory layout as provided by the firmware, and only x86 manipulates it in various different ways for its own memory bookkeeping. So let's move the memmap routines that are only used by x86 into the x86 arch tree. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> | |||
