could you please add a couple of lines to the commit message mentioning
why __va(phys) is an acceptable implementation of arch_acpi_os_map_memory?
FWIW, I already asked this question multiple time on the previous series
without clear answer.

__va should only be used when the memory is direct-mapped to Xen (i.e
accessible directly). On ARM64, this is only the case for the RAM. Can
someone confirm the ACPI will always reside to the RAM?

Regards,
