From: Shannon Zhao <shannon.zhao at linaro.org>
Add a "uefi" node under /hypervisor node in FDT, then Linux kernel could
scan this to get the UEFI information.

+To support UEFI on Xen ARM virtual platforms, Xen populates the FDT "uefi" node
+under /hypervisor with following parameters:

+Name | Size | Description

+xen,uefi-system-table | 64-bit | Guest physical address of the UEFI System

+The format and meaning of these "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to those in
+Documentation/arm/uefi.txt which are used by normal UEFI. But to distinguish
+from normal UEFI, for Xen ARM virtual platforms it needs to introduce a Xen
+specific UEFI which requires Xen hypervisor to provide hypercalls for Dom0 to
+make use of the runtime services. Therefore, it defines these parameters under
+/hypervisor node.
