This is no different from other aspects of "Kconfig vs tool chain
capabilities" sent out last August to start a discussion about
whether we really want such. Besides Jürgen no-one cared to reply
iirc, which to me means no-one really cares one way or the other.
Which I didn't think was the case ... So here we are again, with
all the same questions still open.

I'm not going to nack the patch, because there's an immediate
purpose / need, but I also can't avoid commenting (and I won't
put my name on it in any positive way, i.e. also not as a
committer; if anything then to record my reservations).

Independent of this I'd like to raise the question of whether
the chosen placement is optimal. Other capability checks live
in xen/Kconfig.
