Implement CPU hotplug on Arm
v11 cover Implement CPU hotplug on Arm
This series implements support for CPU hotplug/unplug on Arm. To achieve this, several things need to be done:
1. XEN_SYSCTL_CPU_HOTPLUG_* calls implemented on Arm64.
2. Enabled building of xen-hptool.
3. Migration of irqs from dying CPUs implemented.
Tested on QEMU and R-Car Gen5 HW.

PATCH v11 1/6 arm/irq: Keep track of irq affinities
Currently on Arm the desc->affinity mask of an irq is never updated, which makes it hard to know the actual affinity of an interrupt. Fix this by updating the field in irq_set_affinity. Changing desc->affinity requires desc->lock to be held, so add an assertion to ensure that callers of irq_set_affinity are doing so correctly.
With desc->lock now being required for irq_set_affinity, add locking around calls to it where it was missing.

PATCH v11 2/6 arm/irq: Migrate IRQs during CPU up/down operations
In reply to Mykyta PoturaiMove IRQs from dying CPU to the online ones when a CPU is getting offlined. When onlining, rebalance all IRQs in a round-robin fashion. Guest-bound IRQs are already handled by scheduler in the process of moving vCPUs to active pCPUs, so we only need to handle IRQs used by Xen itself.

PATCH v11 4/6 arm/sysctl: Implement cpu hotplug ops
In reply to Mykyta PoturaiSMT-disable enforcement check is moved into a separate architecture-specific function.
For now this operations only support Arm64. For proper Arm32 support, there needs to be a mechanism to free per-cpu page tables, allocated in init_domheap_mappings. Also, hotplug is not supported if ITS enabled, and partially supported FFA, or TEE is enabled, as they use non-static IRQ actions.

SMT-disable enforcement check is moved into a separate architecture-specific function.
For now this operations only support Arm64. For proper Arm32 support, there needs to be a mechanism to free per-cpu page tables, allocated in
init_domheap_mappings. Also, hotplug is not supported if ITS enabled, and partially supported FFA, or TEE is enabled, as they use non-static IRQ actions.

Remove ifdef guards for x86 in flask, as cpu hotplug is now supported on more architectures.

PATCH v11 5/6 tools: Allow building xen-hptool without CONFIG_MIGRATE
In reply to Mykyta PoturaiWith CPU hotplug sysctls implemented on Arm it becomes useful to have a tool for calling them.
According to the commit history it seems that putting hptool under config MIGRATE was a measure to fix IA64 build. As IA64 is no longer supported it can now be brought back. So build it unconditionally.
Operations specific to x86 architecture are moved into a separate file and only built on x86.
