I am a bit confused with argument. We have nothing in Xen today to deal
with relocation/partial PIE/PIC support. So what is the exact problem?
Is it because UEFI can load Xen anywwhere?
Sorry, I had missed this comment. Yes, you're right we had
tried to boot Xen R82 Image from EFI loader, but it failed.
UEFI loader will load Xen to a random address, which is
not supported by Xen R82 now.

But these will not be supported in the initial stage of
porting Xen to MPU systems. So in this patch, we
disable EFI boot services support for Arm MPU systems.
