[ Commit d85e3e34940788578eeffd94e8b7e1d28e7278e9 upstream ] Currently, the EFI_PARAVIRT flag is only used by Xen dom0 boot on x86, even though other architectures also support pseudo-EFI boot, where the core kernel is invoked directly and provided with a set of data tables that resemble the ones constructed by the EFI stub, which never actually runs in that case. Let's fix this inconsistency, and always set this flag when booting dom0 via the EFI boot path. Note that Xen on x86 does not provide the EFI memory map in this case, whereas other architectures do, so move the associated EFI_PARAVIRT check into the x86 platform code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
