Subject: [V0 PATCH] pvh: Disable PSE feature for now

Until now, xen did not expose PSE to pvh guest, but a patch was submitted
to xen list to enable bunch of features for a pvh guest. PSE has not been
looked into for PVH, so until we can do that and test it to make sure it
works, disable the feature to avoid flood of bugs.
