Yes, this is intentional, see:

https://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=144482080812353

Have you checked if you need to change your /etc/fstab to correctly point 
to the new device? Does FreeBSD correctly list the disk(s) at the mountroot 
prompt when issuing a "?" command?

Also, can you paste the output of `xenstore-ls -fp` from Dom0 when this 
happens?

Hm, I've never used Tianocore myself, so I'm not sure what the issue could 
be here. Again, can you post the output of `xenstore-ls -fp` from Dom0 when 
this happens? At least this will show if the PV block device has been 
correctly attached.

Roger.
