These patches improve compatibility with UEFI enabled systems. Mainly through validating memory and being more in line with what Linux is doing. Certain calls that are currently used have a tendency to either simply not work, or even outright crash the system. These patches taken from Qubes address these issues.
We also add the mapbs and noexitboot commandline options to Xen's EFI interface and configuration file.
Refer to the attached patches for more info.
TODO: Add documentation to the HTML docs about the mapbs and noexitboot parameters.
