It occurred to me this morning that we probably ought to stash the .config
somewhere on install in such a way that it can be associated with the Xen
binary (i.e. with the same full suffix as the binary itself, not the
abridged symlink names), maybe as $(BOOT_DIR)/$(T)-
$(XEN_FULLVERSION).config?

Maybe no so important right now, but once we start getting user visible
options we are going to want this.

I hesitate to suggest that we may also want an equivalent of /proc/kconfig,
i.e. hypercall to retrieve the running config, or even a debug key to dump
it to the console. Both of those are more complex and secondary to
installing it somewhere I think.
