[PATCH RFC 3/3] xen: Introduce a platform sub-op to retrieve the VGA information



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

When using EFI, the VGA information is fetched using the EFI
boot services. However, Xen will have exited the boot services.
Therefore, we need to find a different way to pass the information
to dom0.

For PV dom0, they are part of the start_info. But this is not
something that exists on Arm. So the best way would to be to
use a hypercall.

For now the structure layout is based on dom0_vga_console_info
for convenience. I am open on another proposal.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

TODO:
    - Check the structure size has not changed (I would like to
      avoid bumping the platform interface).
