    xen/arm: mpu: Introduce choice between MMU and MPU
    
    There are features in the forthcoming patches which are dependent on
    MPU. For eg fixed start address.
    Also, some of the Xen features (eg STATIC_MEMORY) will be selected
    by the MPU configuration.
    
    Thus, this patch introduces a choice between MMU and MPU for the type
    of memory management system. By default, MMU is selected.
    MPU is now gated by UNSUPPORTED.
    
    Update SUPPORT.md to state that the support for MPU is experimental.
    Also updated CHANGELOG.md as well.
