[v4,00/11] xsm: refactoring xsm hooks

Message

Based on feedback from 2021 Xen Developers Summit the xsm-roles RFC patch set
is being split into two separate patch sets. This is the first patch set and is
focused purely on the clean up and refactoring of the XSM hooks.

This patch set refactors the xsm_ops wrapper hooks to use the alternative_call
infrastructure. Then proceeds to move and realign the headers to simplify the
unnecessarily complicated header inclusions, remove the facad of being able to
enable/disable XSM, and simplify the XSM hooks down to a single interface and
implementation. The remainder of the changes are clean up and removing no
longer necessary abstractions.

v2:
 - restructured the patches, breaking them up as needed
 - incorporate Andrew Cooper's alternative call common code
 - change XSM module registration, removing register_xsm
 - incoporate KConfig recommendations
 - reworded commit messages
 - incorporate macro expansion recommendations
 - misc clean-up fallout from recommendations

v3:
 - renamed struct xsm_operations to struct xsm_ops
 - flask and silo ops structs made __initconst
 - fixed misplacement of __init on flask/silo_init
 - lots of coding style alignment
 - further clean up from FLASK_DISABLE removal
 - addressed commit message comments
 - removed missed guard around alternative-call include
 - reworked approach to XSM hooks, merging the two interfaces instead of
   dropping one

v4:
- make __alt_call_maybe_initdata resolve to __read_mostly when
  CONFIG_ALTERNATIVE_CALL is not set
- removed the masking of void with xsm_op_t
- moved all the coding style conformity to an early commit
- fixed declaration on real and stub declarations in xsm.h
- corrected to __initconstrel
- made the xsm_ops global __read_mostly
- adjusted blank lines in xsm_ops struct to provide consistent grouping
- moved extern references to built in policy to where they are used
- Added back in the #ifdef CONFIG_XSM into struct evtchn
- split the patch removing the duplicate interface up further
