Hi

The paravirt-dom0 kernel currently fails to build if ACPI_PROCESSOR is a
module, like in the Debian kernels.

I see three possibilities to fix that:
- Convert to tristate and have the load the module if needed.
- Convert to tristate and have userspace load it via an alias.
- Use select instead of depends and force ACPI_PROCESSOR in.

As Xen dom0 needs a lot of setup anyway, I would prefer the first.
