    x86/altcall: allow compound types to be passed
    
    Replace the conditional operator in ALT_CALL_ARG(), which was intended
    to limit usable types to scalar ones, by a size check. Some restriction
    here is necessary to make sure we don't violate the ABI's calling
    conventions, but limiting to scalar types was both too restrictive
    (disallowing e.g. guest handles) and too permissive (allowing e.g.
    __int128_t).
    
    Note that there was some anomaly with that conditional operator anyway:
    Something - I don't recall what - made it impossible to omit the middle
    operand.
    
    Code-generation-wise this has the effect of removing certain zero- or
    sign-extending in some altcall invocations. This ought to be fine as the
    ABI doesn't require sub-sizeof(int) values to be extended, except when
    passed through an ellipsis. No functions subject to altcall patching has
    a variable number of arguments, though.

    Unfortunately this triggers -Werror=sizeof-array-argument on some versions 
of
    GCC, so alter xsm_{alloc,free}_security_evtchns() to use a pointer rather 
than
    array parameter.
