At the moment, there is a problem with ACM: it is impossible to set
ACM security model at built-time, so even with ACM is chosen to build,
the default policy is NULL, which is useless.

This patch propose a solution to this problem: build process will
generate a header file (include/public/acm_policy.h) based on the
value set in xen/Makefile or at command-line, and gets acm.h included
it.

Looks fine, but:

Firstly, is the configured policy something that needs to be propagated to user tools (i.e., should the generated header reside within include/public or should it be in include/xen)?

Secondly, you missed conditional inclusion of acm/acm.o into the ALL_OBJS list in xen/Rules.mk. Also, the definition of ACM_USE_SECURITY_POLICY probably belongs more correctly in Rules.mk rather than the Makefile.
