[PATCH v8 0/7] xen: introduce CONFIG_SYSCTL



It can be beneficial for some dom0less systems to further reduce Xen footprint
via disabling some hypercalls handling code, which may not to be used &
required in such systems. Each hypercall has a separate option to keep
configuration flexible.

Options to disable hypercalls:
- sysctl
- domctl
- hvm
- physdev
- platform

This patch serie is only focusing on introducing CONFIG_SYSCTL. Different
options will be covered in different patch serie.

Features, like LIVEPATCH, Overlay DTB, which fully rely on sysctl op, will
be wrapped with CONFIG_SYSCTL, to reduce Xen footprint as much as possible.

It is derived from Stefano Stabellini's commit "xen: introduce kconfig options 
to
disable hypercalls"(
https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/20241219092917.3006174-1-Sergiy_Kibrik@xxxxxxxx)
