    xen/public: Obsolete HVM_PARAM_PAE_ENABLED
    
    Xen has never acted upon the value of HVM_PARAM_PAE_ENABLED, contrary 
perhaps
    to expectations based on how other boolean fields work.
    
    It was only ever used as a non-standard calling convention for
    xc_cpuid_apply_policy() but that has been fixed now.
    
    Purge its use, and any possible confusion over its behaviour, by having Xen
    reject any attempts to use it.  Forgo setting it up in libxl's
    hvm_set_conf_params().  The only backwards compatibility necessary is to 
have
    the HVM restore stream discard it if found.
