Sorry, I didn't investigate this deeply while just getting this patch of Parth version.
I re-think about it. The reason why we need that variable is that when we create EFI System table for Dom0 it copies the table header from that. Since it supplies Dom0 a Xen specific UEFI and it could get the information from other way, this change is not necessary. I'll drop this at next version.
