Considering hyperlaunch this feels wrong to me. Did you consider splitting
HAS_DEVICE_TREE into HAS_DEVICE_TREE_PARSE and HAS_DEVICE_TREE_DISCOVERY,
as I suggested on the committers call? You weren't there, but Stefano said
he was taking notes.

This select imo ought to move to HAS_DEVICE_TREE_PARSE, unless I misunderstand
what LIBFDT covers.

Here I'm less certain - is everything in that subdir truly "discovery" related?

This similarly looks wrong to me. Whether to create CPU pools is purely a
Xen-internal software thing, isn't it?
