Cheers.

There's an argument for doing away with the option
altogether. Xen enforces the protection, so it doesn't matter
whether untrusted domains are compiled with
CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST or not. The amount of code that this
option compiles out is likely less than 1KB, so it's probably
not worth having. 

However, we should make sure that the domain hides the various
proc files if it has insufficient privilege from Xen, so as to
avoid confusing users.
