From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabell...@amd.com>
We introduce a new Kconfig CONFIG_SYSCTL, which shall only be disabled
on some dom0less systems or PV shim on x86, to reduce Xen footprint.
Making SYSCTL without prompt is transient and it will be fixed in the final
patch. Also, we will also state unsetting SYSCTL in pvshim_defconfig to
explicitly make it unavailable for PV shim in the final patch.
