I introduce CONFIG_X86_XEN as a mirror to CONFIG_XEN_X86 that we had in the previous architecture. ditto for CONFIG_X86_64_XEN CONFIG_XEN should be use when there's no reason to use a specific architecture version (which is almost everytimes). But the option should stay, CONFIG_X86_XEN is actually a subarch config name, and even if x86_64 doesn't have subarch, it's nice to have a consistant naming scheme.
