But why? This is not explained.

I guess for this reason.. Perhaps a bit more clear:

/*

I realize PV got away with setting up boot_params on C code but best
ask now that this new code is being introduced: why can't we just have
the Xen hypervisor fill this in? It'd save us all this code.

On this page I show the difference, as an example of what this would look
like in contrast to how lguest set things up as an example in a very
clean way:

If the boot_params.hdr.hardware_subarch_data pointed to a custom
struct then the first C entry point for Xen could shuffle this and
set this too, by still using less asm entry helpers. We'd still
need this run but with the linker table I think we could have
a stub small stub for hvm run, it would not be a call from asm.

Yet another asm entry point for Linux, could it perhaps someway be possible to
just share some of this asm entry code in a clean way ?

Nice! But again why can't the Xen hypervisor just set the boot_params?
All other Linux loaders do it. Why is Xen special?
