[PATCH v2 0/3] arm64: Add multiboot support (via fdt) for Xen boot |

From: Fu Wei <address@hidden>
- This adds support for the Xen boot on ARM specification for arm64.
- The implementation for Xen is following <Multiboot on ARM Specification>:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Multiboot
and xen/docs/misc/arm/device-tree/booting.txt in Xen source code.
- The multiboot/module commands have existed, so we use
xen_hypervisor/xen_module instead.
- This Xen boot support is built into linux module for aarch64,
and can not be used alone.
- Adding this functionality to the existing "linux" module is for
reusing the existing code of devicetree.
- Add the support of xen_hypervisor/xen_module commands in
util/grub.d/20_linux_xen.in
- Add the introduction of xen_hypervisor/xen_module commands in docs/grub.texi
- The example of this support is <How to boot Xen with GRUB on AArch64 the
Foundation FVP model>
https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Grub2/Xen_booting_on_Foundation_FVP_model_by_GRUB
Changelog:
v2: remove the patches which have been accepted.
according to Vladimir's suggestion, change the command manes
and relevant code:
multiboot-->xen_hypervisor
module-->xen_module
improve the option parsing support for xen_hypervisor/xen_module commands.
add a patch for adding xen_hypervisor/xen_module support
in util/grub.d/20_linux_xen.in.
update docs/grub.texi patch for the new command names.
