[Xen-devel] [PATCH] compat.h: drop COMPAT_HANDLE_PARAM()

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

The need for 8844ed299a ("x86/dmop: Fix compat_dm_op() ABI") has made
clear that its presence is actively dangerous. At the hypercall entry
points XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_PARAM() should be used anyway (regardless of
whether these are native or compat entry points), and passing around
handles internally shouldn't use their compat representation either.
