Introduce a new "xen,enhanced" dom0less property to enable/disable PV
driver interfaces for dom0less guests. Currently only "enabled" and
"disabled" are supported property values (and empty). Leave the option
open to implement further possible values in the future (e.g.
"xenstore" to enable only xenstore.) Dom0 presence is required for now
to use "xen,enhanced" on a domU.
The configurable option is for domUs only. For dom0 we always set the
corresponding property in the Xen code to true (PV interfaces enabled.)
This patch only parses the property. Next patches will make use of it.

When the length of the string is zero of_property_read_string should
return -ENODATA according to the description of the function.
However, of_property_read_string doesn't check prop->length. If
prop->length is zero, return -ENODATA.
Without this patch the following command in u-boot:
fdt set /chosen/node property-name
results in of_property_read_string returning -EILSEQ when attempting to
read property-name. With this patch, it returns -ENODATA as expected.

Add a minimal ARM32 smoke test based on qemu-system-arm, as provided by
the test-artifacts qemu container. The minimal test simply boots Xen
(built from previous build stages) and Dom0.
The test needs a working kernel and minimal initrd for dom0. Instead of
building our own kernel and initrd, which would mean maintaining one or
two more builting scripts under automation/, we borrow a kernel and
initrd from distros.
For the kernel we pick the Debian Bullseye kernel, which has everything
we need already built-in. However, we cannot use the Debian Bullseye
initrd because it is 22MB and the large size causes QEMU to core dump.
Instead, use the tiny busybox-based rootfs provided by Alpine Linux,
which is really minimal: just 2.5MB. Note that we cannot use the Alpine
Linux kernel because that doesn't boot on Xen.

With qemu-system-arm available, we'll be able to run ARM32 tests.

The first 32 bytes of zImage are NOPs. When CONFIG_EFI is enabled in the
kernel, certain versions of Linux will use an UNPREDICTABLE NOP
encoding, sometimes resulting in an unbootable kernel. Whether the
resulting kernel is bootable or not depends on the processor. See commit
a92882a4d270 in the Linux kernel for all the details.
All kernel releases starting from Linux 4.9 without commit a92882a4d270
are affected.
Fortunately there is a simple workaround: setting the "Z" bit in CPSR
make it so those invalid NOP instructions are never executed. That is
because the instruction is conditional (not equal). So, on QEMU at
least, the instruction will end up to be ignored and not generate an
exception. Setting the "Z" bit makes those kernel versions bootable
again and it is harmless in the other cases.
Note that both U-Boot and QEMU -kernel set the "Z" bit in CPSR when
booting a zImage kernel on aarch32.

allocate_bank_memory can be called with a tot_size of zero, as an
example see the implementation of allocate_memory which can call
allocate_bank_memory with a tot_size of zero for the second memory bank.
If tot_size == 0, don't create an empty memory bank, just return
immediately without error. Otherwise a zero-size memory bank will be
added to the domain device tree.
Note that Linux is known to be able to cope with zero-size memory banks,
and Xen more recently gained the ability to do so as well (5a37207df5
"xen/arm: bootfdt: Ignore empty memory bank"). However, there might be
other non-Linux OSes that are not able to cope with empty memory banks
as well as Linux (and now Xen). It would be more robust to avoid
zero-size memory banks unless required.
Moreover, the code to find empty address regions in make_hypervisor_node
in Xen is not able to cope with empty memory banks today and would
result in a Xen crash. This is only a latent bug because
make_hypervisor_node is only called for Dom0 at present and
allocate_memory is only called for DomU at the moment. (But if
make_hypervisor_node was to be called for a DomU, then the Xen crash
would become manifest.)

A recent thread [1] has exposed a couple of issues with our current way
of handling EXPERT.
1) It is not obvious that "Configure standard Xen features (expert
users)" is actually the famous EXPERT we keep talking about on xen-devel
2) It is not obvious when we need to enable EXPERT to get a specific
feature
In particular if you want to enable ACPI support so that you can boot
Xen on an ACPI platform, you have to enable EXPERT first. But searching
through the kconfig menu it is really not clear (type '/' and "ACPI"):
nothing in the description tells you that you need to enable EXPERT to
get the option.
So this patch makes things easier by doing two things:
- introduce a new kconfig option UNSUPPORTED which is clearly to enable
UNSUPPORTED features as defined by SUPPORT.md
- change EXPERT options to UNSUPPORTED where it makes sense: keep
depending on EXPERT for features made for experts
- tag unsupported features by adding (UNSUPPORTED) to the one-line
description
- clarify the EXPERT one-line description
