I think not.

Macros like this which explicitly create local variable with implicit
names are evil when reading code.

If you want to do initialisation like this, then at least do something like:

#define INIT_EFI_CALL(what) \
{ .cmd = XENPF_efi_runtime_call, \
   .u.efi_runtime_call.function = XEN_EFI_##what, \
   .u.efi_runtime_call.misc = 0 }

And use it as:

struct xen_platform_op op = INIT_EFI_CALL(foo);
