defconfig is huuuuge.  Can we use tinyconfig instead?

Also, you want to turn off CONFIG_MODULES seeing as you only copy
bzImage to the test.

This also fixes the fact that `grep XEN` also matches
CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC
which has nothing to do with Xen.

Tinyconfig would be a good idea but it crashes on QEMU with the appended
boot log. I did:

# make tinyconfig
# make xen.config
# make bzImage

Of course we could have our own tailored special kernel config for this
kernel but I like the simplicify of "make tinyconfig" or "make
defconfig" followed by "make xen.config".

Unless you know one kconfig option or two that we need to add to
tinyconfig to make it work my preference is to go with defconfig for
now.

You will need to add the dom0 and SMP related config options at least.

I'll have a look at config.xen, which is a little bit weird: it
configures the backends, but not dom0.

Thanks, it would be good if make tinyconfig && make xen.config would
just work on QEMU. In the meantime I'll keep defconfig for this test, we
can always improve later.

Can you please test the attached patch?

Yes, that works, thanks!

Sorry, I spoke too soon: same error as before:

https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/sstabellini/xen/-/jobs/1722909607/raw

(XEN) Hardware Dom0 crashed: rebooting machine in 5 seconds.

No output from the kernel.

This is not very surprising, as tinyconfig doesn't have CONFIG_PRINTK.
BTW, it doesn't have initrd support either (BLK_DEV_RAM and
BLK_DEV_INITRD), so I added those to xen.config as well.

With the (updated) attached patch the kernel boots fine as dom0 until
rootfs is tried to be mounted on a physical machine.

I've added CONFIG_BUG, too, in order to have more debugging output if
needed.
