Two observations...

If we are pushing these values down (which I agree is a good idea),
please can we push xen_arch_domainconfig down as well.

We really should fail with -EOPNOTSUPP.

The toolstack already knows whether HAP is available, and nothing good
can come from Xen falling silently back to shadow behind the toolstacks
back.

Probably worth being in a solo patch though.
