While I can see reasons to put this here, doing so means the option
will be unavailable in non-EXPERT release builds. Is it intended to
be that way?
I can move it either to xen/Kconfig or in Kconfig.debug out of the
"if expert" section if you want.
I think this would be better, but give others a chance to voice
opinions.

TBH, I don't think anyone will be interested in not having the strings.
The change is what? a couple of hundred bytes?  That is a fraction of
the size of some functions we have.

Well, it's a couple thousand (about 7k according to my simplistic
estimation, but this is taking Arm and x86 together). It's not the
end of the world, but in particular embedded users may want to get
rid of this. There's a reason after all (I assume) that Linux has
the option.

The needed code churn is rather limited, so I think we should keep the
config option.
