Since I use efi_acpi_table to store the allocated pages pointer which
are used to store newly created ACPI and EFI tables.
See [PATCH v3 40/62]:
+    order = get_order_from_bytes(d->arch.efi_acpi_len);
+    d->arch.efi_acpi_table = alloc_xenheap_pages(order, 0);

And it free these pages when destroying this domain:
+#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+    free_xenheap_pages(d->arch.efi_acpi_table,
+                       get_order_from_bytes(d->arch.efi_acpi_len));
+#endif

efi_acpi_gpa might not need.
