    sysctl/libxl: choose a sane default for HAP
    
    Current libxl code will always enable Hardware Assisted Paging (HAP),
    expecting that the hypervisor will fallback to shadow if HAP is not
    available. With the changes to DOMCTL_createdomain that's not the case
    any longer, and the hypervisor will raise an error if HAP is not
    available instead of silently falling back to shadow.
    
    In order to keep the previous functionality report whether HAP is
    available or not in XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo, so that the toolstack can
    select a sane default if there's no explicit user selection of whether
    HAP should be used.
    
    Note that on ARM hardware HAP capability is always reported since it's
    a required feature in order to run Xen.
    
    Fixes: d0c0ba7d3de ('x86/hvm/domain: remove the 'hap_enabled' flag')
