I don't see the point of doing this. We don't in general strip stuff we
build under tools/, the extra disc space taken is trivial, and symbols can
be convenient to have around. I just don't see the win.

Xend parts look good. The hvmloader parts look unnecessary (since we
currently always declare LPT1 present) and dangerous (Windows guests which
were installed on old Xen iirc get upset if they later boot and see LTP1
not-present in ACPI tables). There'd need to be a *good* reason for hiding
LTP1 in DSDT therefore.
 - Partially applied to unstable; not applied to 3.4

Looks good.
 - Applied to unstable and 3.4.

Looks good but not critical for 3.4.
 - Applied to unstable; not applied to 3.4.
