x86/boot: Improve paging mode diagnostics in create_dom0()
I was presented with this:
(XEN) NX (Execute Disable) protection active
(XEN) d0 has maximum 416 PIRQs
(XEN)
(XEN) ****************************************
(XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
(XEN) Error creating d0: -95
(XEN) ****************************************
which is less than helpful. It turns out to be the -EOPNOTSUPP from
shadow_domain_init().
The real bug here is create_dom0() unconditionally assuming the presence of
SHADOW_PAGING. Rework it to panic() rather than choosing a dom0_cfg which
is
guaranteed to fail. This results in:
(XEN) NX (Execute Disable) protection active
(XEN)
(XEN) ****************************************
(XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
(XEN) Neither HAP nor Shadow available for PVH domain
(XEN) ****************************************
which is rather more helpful.
