    xen: Fix backport of "x86/tsx: Implement controls for RTM force-abort mode"
    
    The posted version of this patch depends on c/s 3c555295 "x86/vpmu: Improve
    documentation and parsing for vpmu=" (Xen 4.12 and later) to prevent
    `vpmu=rtm-abort` impliying `vpmu=1`, which is outside of security support.
