Introduce two new Kconfig options, SVM and VMX, to allow code
specific to each virtualization technology to be separated and, when not
required, stripped.
CONFIG_SVM will be used to enable virtual machine extensions on platforms that
implement the AMD Virtualization Technology (AMD-V).
CONFIG_VMX will be used to enable virtual machine extensions on platforms that
implement the Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x).

Both features depend on HVM support.

Since, at this point, disabling any of them would cause Xen to not compile,
the options are enabled by default if HVM and are not selectable by the user.

No functional change intended.

changes in v3:
  - tag added

And then removed again in v4? My prior ack stands, but - as before - conditional
upon us being certain that we want to go with the ambiguous ...

changes in v2:
  - simplify kconfig expression to def_bool HVM
  - keep file list in Makefile in alphabetical order
changes in v1:
  - change kconfig option name AMD_SVM/INTEL_VMX -> SVM/VMX

... result of this change (firmly ambiguous for SVM, latently for VMX).


I've put my thoughts about naming in the series' cover letter, however I'm not strongly preferring current naming and if it finds no advocates I'll rename it in next series.
