A top level EPT parameter "ept=<options>" and a sub boolean "pml_enable" are

Please patch docs/misc/xen-command-line.markdown as well. See the
existing "psr" option as a similar example.
Will do. Thanks for pointing out.
Also, as indicated in patch 1, I think patches 1 and 2 need swapping in
the series.
Sure.

It is common to put the custom_param() call below parse_ept_param() so
you don't need to forward-declare the function. The comment can happily
live at the top of parse_ept_param().
Will do.

Not a useful comment, as it is likely to diverge in the future.
I will move comments for 'custom_param("ept", parse_ept_param)' here, as
you suggested above, and this useless comment can be eliminated.

Will do.
