Now , Xen detect module type by the order. (at least on ARM64).
I think i386 is using Multiboot(2) protocol, so maybe this order is
nothing to do with i386.
so maybe we can say:
-----------------------------
On ARM64, each module will be identified by the order in which the
modules are added.
The 1st module: dom0 kernel image
The 2nd module: dom0 ramdisk (optional)
All subsequent modules: UNKNOWN
On i386, the modules will be identified by Multiboot(2) protocol.
-----------------------------
Is that better? please correct me if I miss something.
