The XEN config option enables the Xen paravirt_ops interface, which is
installed when the kernel finds itself running under Xen. (By some
as-yet fully defined mechanism, implemented in a future patch.)
Xen is no longer a sub-architecture, so the X86_XEN subarch config
option has gone.
The disabled config options are:
- PREEMPT: Xen doesn't support it
- HZ: set to 100Hz for now, to cut down on VCPU context switch rate.
This will be adapted to use tickless later.
- kexec: not yet supported
