Subject: [PATCH] xen: remove unused Kconfig parameter

This patch proposes to remove the XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST kernel
configuration parameter defined in arch/x86/xen/Kconfig, but used
nowhere in the makefiles and source code.

This dummy parameter was added 3 years back, and it may
make sense to remove it now, as the reasons to use it were not
very clear.
