Add a "uefi" node under /hypervisor node in FDT, then Linux kernel could
scan this to get the UEFI information.

Please replace the paragraph with the following which mentions
include/xen/interface/platform.h and improves the wording:

"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 include/xen/interface/platform.h."

I would prefer if we didn't refer to Linux paths here, for the usual
rationale of keeping bindings distinct from Linux implementation
details.

Could we either drop the "see include/xen/interface/platform.h" part, or
refer to some Xen documentation?

Thanks,
Mark.

Sure, in fact the canonical headers are the ones in the Xen tree anyway.
We could use the following instead:
