The macros for testing domain types are more complicated then they
need to. Simplify them.

Start PVH guest at XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_ENTRY address. Setup hypercall
page, initialize boot_params, enable early page tables.
Since this stub is executed before kernel entry point we cannot use
variables in .bss which is cleared by kernel. We explicitly place
variables that are initialized here into .data.
While adjusting xen_hvm_init_shared_info() make it use cpuid_e?x()
instead of cpuid() (wherever possible).

We are replacing existing PVH guests with new implementation.
We are keeping xen_pvh_domain() macro (for now set to zero) because
when we introduce new PVH implementation later in this series we will
reuse current PVH-specific code (xen_pvh_gnttab_setup()), and that
code is conditioned by 'if (xen_pvh_domain())'. (We will also need
a noop xen_pvh_domain() for !CONFIG_XEN_PVH).

Ever since commit 254d1a3f02eb ("xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches
from old kernel") using the INTx interrupt from Xen PCI platform
device for event channel notification would just lockup the guest
during bootup. postcore_initcall now calls xs_reset_watches which
will eventually try to read a value from XenStore and will get stuck
on read_reply at XenBus forever since the platform driver is not
probed yet and its INTx interrupt handler is not registered yet. That
means that the guest can not be notified at this moment of any pending
event channels and none of the per-event handlers will ever be invoked
(including the XenStore one) and the reply will never be picked up by
the kernel.
The exact stack where things get stuck during xenbus_init:
-xenbus_init
-xs_init
-xs_reset_watches
-xenbus_scanf
-xenbus_read
-xs_single
-xs_single
-xs_talkv
Vector callbacks have always been the favourite event notification
mechanism since their introduction in commit 38e20b07efd5 ("x86/xen:
event channels delivery on HVM.") and the vector callback feature has
always been advertised for quite some time by Xen that's why INTx was
broken for several years now without impacting anyone.
Luckily this also means that event channel notification through INTx
is basically dead-code which can be safely removed without impacting
anybody since it has been effectively disabled for more than 4 years
with nobody complaining about it (at least as far as I'm aware of).
This commit removes event channel notification through Xen PCI
platform device.

Which is a PV guest with auto page translation enabled
and with vector callback. It is a cross between PVHVM and PV.
The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt,
with modifications):
"* the guest uses auto translate:
- p2m is managed by Xen
- pagetables are owned by the guest
- mmu_update hypercall not available
* it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation,
* IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest.
For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table
in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a
PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting
callback vector."
Also we use the PV cpuid, albeit we can use the HVM (native) cpuid.
However, we do have a fair bit of filtering in the xen_cpuid and
we can piggyback on that until the hypervisor/toolstack filters
the appropiate cpuids. Once that is done we can swap over to
use the native one.
We setup a Kconfig entry that is disabled by default and
cannot be enabled.
Note that on ARM the concept of PVH is non-existent. As Ian
put it: "an ARM guest is neither PV nor HVM nor PVHVM.
It's a bit like PVH but is different also (it's further towards
the H end of the spectrum than even PVH).". As such these
options (PVHVM, PVH) are never enabled nor seen on ARM
compilations.

Since commit commit 4c071ee5268f7234c3d084b6093bebccc28cdcba ("arm:
initial Xen support") PV on HVM guests can be xen_initial_domain.
However PV on HVM guests might have an unitialized xen_start_info, so
check before accessing its fields.

- Basic hypervisor.h and interface.h definitions.
- Skeleton enlighten.c, set xen_start_info to an empty struct.
- Make xen_initial_domain dependent on the SIF_PRIVILIGED_BIT.
The new code only compiles when CONFIG_XEN is set, that is going to be
added to arch/arm/Kconfig in patch #11 "xen/arm: introduce CONFIG_XEN on
ARM".
Changes in v3:
- improve comments.

Move xen_domain and related tests out of asm-x86 to xen/xen.h so they
can be included whenever they are necessary.
