Subject: x86/xen: Provide pre-built page tables only for CONFIG_XEN_PV=y and CONFIG_XEN_PVH=y

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <[email protected]>

commit 4375c29985f155d7eb2346615d84e62d1b673682 upstream.

Looks like we only need pre-built page tables in the CONFIG_XEN_PV=y and CONFIG_XEN_PVH=y cases.

Let's not provide them for other configurations.
