As indicated in reply to your patch changing XEN_FW_EFI_MEM_INFO in
the hypervisor: While this may fit the ESRT purpose, the address you
return here is not necessarily the start of the region, and hence
this function is not a general Xen replacement for the non-Xen
function. Therefore I think it also shouldn't give the impression of
doing so.
