      xen: Put EFI machinery in place · be81c8a1
      Daniel Kiper 提交于
      This patch enables EFI usage under Xen dom0. Standard EFI Linux
      Kernel infrastructure cannot be used because it requires direct
      access to EFI data and code. However, in dom0 case it is not possible
      because above mentioned EFI stuff is fully owned and controlled
      by Xen hypervisor. In this case all calls from dom0 to EFI must
      be requested via special hypercall which in turn executes relevant
      EFI code in behalf of dom0.
      
      When dom0 kernel boots it checks for EFI availability on a machine.
      If it is detected then artificial EFI system table is filled.
      Native EFI callas are replaced by functions which mimics them
      by calling relevant hypercall. Later pointer to EFI system table
      is passed to standard EFI machinery and it continues EFI subsystem
      initialization taking into account that there is no direct access
      to EFI boot services, runtime, tables, structures, etc. After that
      system runs as usual.
      
      This patch is based on Jan Beulich and Tang Liang work.
