[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-xen-4.5] docs: EFI configuration file must be ASCII type

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently Xen can only read the configuration file if it is in ASCII
format. If it is in CHAR16 or CHAR8 it will choke. One way to verify
this is to use 'file':

xen.cfg:        ASCII text
xen-char16.cfg: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text, with CRLF, CR line 
terminators

The latter is no good.
