[XEN PATCH v3 0/2] xen: address violations of MISRA C Rule 17.1

[Simone Ballarin <simone.ballarin@bugseng.com>]

MISRA C Rule 20.7 states: "The features of `<stdarg.h>' shall not be used".

The Xen community wants to avoid using variadic functions except for
specific circumstances where it feels appropriate by strict code review.

Functions hypercall_create_continuation and hypercall_xlat_continuation
are internal helpers made to break long running hypercalls into multiple
calls. They take a variable number of arguments depending on the original
hypercall they are trying to continue. Add SAF deviations for the aforementioned
functions.

Add deviation for printf()-like functions.

---
Changes in v3:
- use regexes to exempt all .*printk and .*printf functions, instead
  of manually listing them one by one;
- rebase: change SAF-3-safe in SAF-4-safe.
Changes in v2:
- replace "related to console output" with "printf()-like functions";
- replace "special hypercalls" with "internal helpers".
