Cover letter [PATCH v3 0/4] arm64: Add Xen boot support (via fdt)

From: Fu Wei <[email protected]>

- This adds support for the Xen boot on ARM specification for arm64.

- Add and export some accessor functions of "loaded" flag and grub_linux_get_fdt function in include/grub/arm64/linux.h for xen boot.

- Introduce xen_hypervisor, xen_linux, xen_initrd and xen_xsm to load different binaries for xen boot.
Introduce xen_module to load common or custom module for xen boot.

- This Xen boot support is a separated module for aarch64, but reuse the existing code of devicetree in linux module.

- Add the support of xen_hypervisor, xen_linux and xen_initrd

    in util/grub.d/20_linux_xen.in

- Add the introduction of all xen boot commands in docs/grub.texi

- The example of this support is <How to boot Xen with GRUB on AArch64 the Foundation FVP model>
