It is up to the EFI maintainer (Jan) who would like the vendors to
fix their broken firmware before adding this gross hack in.

I think the way going forward is to make Xen capable of working in the
VirtualAddress instead of the 1:1. The problem isn't fixing the code
(it blows up if you try enabling) - it is that we lose kexec support
unless we also make kexec be less Linux-centric when booting under EFI.

This is a topic I think we should bring up at the XenHackathon(Dev summit?)
in Cambridge, UK to hash out.
