+Specify which XSM module should be enabled.  This option is only available if
+the hypervisor was compiled with XSM support.
+
+* `dummy`: this is the default choice.  No special restriction will be applied.
+  it's also used when XSM is compiled out.
+* `flask`: this is the policy based access control.  To choose this, the
+  separated option in kconfig must also be enabled.
