- 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 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_...
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 update docs/grub.texi patch for the new command names.
v1: The first version upstream patchset to grub-devel mailing list
