Thank you for sending part of the log. Looking at Linux 5.6 code, the 
error message is printed by efi_get_fdt_params() (see 
drivers/firmware/efi.c) when one of the property is missing.

'System Table' suggests that Linux wasn't enable to find 
"linux,uefi-system-table" or "xen,uefi-system-table".

Xen will only create later. Would it be possible to add some code in 
__find_uefi_params() to confirm which property Linux thinks is missing?

I think this is normal because, IIRC, the ACPI root pointer will be 
found using the System Table.
