Please replace the paragraph with the following which mentions
include/xen/interface/platform.h and improves the wording:

"The format and meaning of the "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to
those in Documentation/arm/uefi.txt, which are provided by the regular
UEFI stub. However they differ because they are provided by the Xen
hypervisor, together with a set of UEFI runtime services implemented via
hypercalls, see include/xen/interface/platform.h."
