Look in the EFI tree,
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git/tree/drivers/firmware/efi/arm-init.c?h=next#n120

Urgh, right, I missed that.

Could you explain why you need to copy efi.runtime_version instead of letting the existing code in uefi_init() set it up?
Also, efi.systab isn't used by xen_efi_runtime_setup() as far I can see, not sure why you need that either?
