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.

In the subject tag you say v1, but I think this is a re-post? In which
case and with it having been a long time since then it would be even
more so important that a proper revision log is present in each individual
patch.

It was probably me to have requested this form, but meanwhile I've learned
(on the Linux side) that newer kconfig is capable to dealing with

config SVM
	def_bool HVM

config VMX
	def_bool HVM

quite fine (i.e. no longer leaving around useless "# CONFIG_... is not set"
when (in this case) HVM=n. Please double check with the kconfig we use
whether that's the case there, too, and simplify if so.

Please can these be kept in alphabetical order?

well, this patch isn't plain resend, it does have changes since rfc 
version (actually all of them do, hence V1 tag). Anyway, individual 
change log per patch would make things easier a bit, I agree.

seems to work, thanks for pointing this out
