Regardless of if we drop the "linux," prefix from the existing strings,
I think we need the "xen," prefix here.

The xen EFI interface comes with additional caveats, and we need to
treat it separately.

Unless you're suggesting that /hypervisor/uefi-* is handled differently
to /chosen/uefi-*?

I think I'd still prefer the "xen," prefix regardless.

Thanks,
Mark.
