    tools/libx[cl]: Don't use HVM_PARAM_PAE_ENABLED as a function parameter
    
    HVM_PARAM_PAE_ENABLED is set and consumed by the toolstack only.  It is in
    practice a complicated and non-standard way of passing a boolean parameter
    into xc_cpuid_apply_policy().
    
    This is silly.  Pass PAE as a regular parameter instead.
    
    In libxl__cpuid_legacy(), leave a rather better explaination of why only HVM
    guests have a choice in PAE setting.
    
    No change in how a guest is constructed.
