    xen: Fix check-endbr.sh with mawk
    
    check-endbr.sh works with gawk, but fails with mawk. The produced $ALL
    file is smaller as it is missing 0x$vma_lo on every line.  With mawk,
    int(0x2A) just produces 0, instead of the expected value.
    
    The use of hexadecimal-constant in awk is an optional part of the posix
    spec, and mawk doesn't seems to implemented.
    
    There is a way to convert an hexadecimal to a number be putting it in a
    string, and awk as I understand is supposed to use strtod() to convert
    the string to a number when needed. The expression 'int("0x15") + 21'
    would produce the expected value in `mawk` but now `gawk` won't convert
    the string to a number unless we use the option "--non-decimal-data".
    
    So let's convert the hexadecimal number before using it in the awk
    script. The shell as no issue with dealing with hexadecimal-constant so
    we'll simply use the expression "$(( 0x15 ))" to convert the value
    before using it in awk.
    
    Note: This does introduce a latent portability bug, which fixed in a 
separate
          change to avoid mixing complexity/explanations.
