    xen/arm: Don't boot Xen on platform using AIVIVT instruction caches
    
    The AIVIVT is a type of instruction cache available on Armv7. This is
    the only cache not implementing the IVIPT extension and therefore
    requiring specific care.
    
    To simplify maintenance requirements, Xen will not boot on platform
    using AIVIVT cache.
    
    This should not be an issue because Xen Arm32 can only boot on a small
    number of processors (see arch/arm/arm32/proc-v7.S). All of them are
    not using AIVIVT cache.
