Seems to be about the same thing. > Yes, the parameters are similar. But since we can't find a good way to use normal UEFI for Xen Dom0 on ARM(there are some aspects which are not consistent with the UEFI spec), we have to introduce a Xen specific UEFI. Then we want to separate this from the normal UEFI completely and don't affect the normal use. So we add these parameter under Xenia specific node /hypervisor.
