Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (i386 defconfig)
failed like this:

arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `init_hypervisor_platform':
(.init.text+0x3ca4): undefined reference to `x86_hyper_xen_hvm'
arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `init_hypervisor_platform':
(.init.text+0x3cad): undefined reference to `x86_hyper_xen_hvm'

Caused by commit bee6ab53e652a414af20392899879b58cd80d033 ("x86: early PV
on HVM features initialization").

I reverted commit 4b9100d12d15c0eaf23d9edc86228e1bdf452dc2 ("Merge branch
'upstream/pvhvm' into upstream/xen") for today (since there were
dependencies on the above commit).
The problem is that x86_hyper_xen_hvm is in arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c,
that is compiled only when CONFIG_XEN is enabled.
The appended patch fixes the issue moving x86_hyper_xen_hvm to
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/xen.c that is always compiled.

An shorter alternative solution would be just to ifdef CONFIG_XEN
x86_hyper_xen_hvm in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/hypervisor.c.
Seems like the most sensible thing to do.  What's the point in detecting
Xen if we don't have CONFIG_XEN enabled?
There isn't much point in doing so apart from avoiding an ifdef.
This is the alternative:

Thanks.  I'd already committed it ;)
