        vm86() call don't work at all on xen kernels, and it didn't worked
either with kernels previous to the TSS removal.  VM86 requires TSS
support, then it is better to disable it.  Specially because it didn't
work.  This patch disables it for xen kernels.

Patch didn't apply because init/Kconfig don't exist on the sparse tree.

(And no, I don't know either why an x86 option is on that file :)
We test vm86 support in our regression tests, so it does seem to be working.
