    libxc: set flag for support of linear p2m list in domain builder
    
    Set the SIF_VIRT_P2M_4TOOLS flag for pv-domUs in the domain builder
    to indicate the Xen tools have full support for the virtual mapped
    linear p2m list.
    
    This will enable pv-domUs to drop support of the 3 level p2m tree
    and use the linear list only. Without setting this flag some kernels
    might limit themselves to 512 GB memory size in order not to break
    migration.
