With this it can't really be experimental: Arm mandates SILO for having
a security supported configuration.

The default policy includes FLASK labels and roles for a "typical" Xen-based system

### SILO XSM Module
SILO extends the dummy policy by enforcing that DomU-s can only communicate
with Dom0, yet not with each other.
