The current approach, which is the wholesale efi struct initialization from a 'efi_xen' local template is not robust. Usually if new member is defined then it is properly initialized in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c, but not in arch/x86/xen/efi.c. The effect is that the Xen initialization clears any fields the generic code might have set and the Xen code does not know about yet. I saw this happen a few times, so let's initialize only the EFI struct members used by Xen and maintain no local duplicate, to avoid such issues in the future.
