[PATCH v8.1 19/27] xsplice: Add support for alternatives

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>]

From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@citrix.com>

Add support for applying alternative sections within xsplice payload.
At payload load time, apply an alternative sections that are found.

Also we add an test-case exercising a rather useless alternative
(patching a NOP with a NOP) - but it does exercise the code-path.

v2: Make a new alternative function that does not ASSERT on IRQs and
    don't disable IRQs in the code when loading payload.
v4: Include test-case
    Include check for size of alternatives and that it is not a 0 size
    section.
v6: Add #define INIT to preserve __initness on alternative code.
    Double check that alt_instr are only patching payload code.
v7: Move cr0 manipulation in apply_alternatives.
    ifdef around alternative.o in Makefile
    Pick X86_FEATURE_LM in test-case
    Drop casting from load_addr
    It is alternative.init.o, not alternative_init.o (thanks Andrew!)
v8: Change XENLOG_DEBUG to XENLOG_ERR on dprintk.
