Not that different from what I have above since PVH_FEATURES_STR still
has to be defined as null string for non PVH case. Anyways, below is
the latest patch. Konard, kindly apply if Jan is OK.

Thanks,
Mukesh


PVH: Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH
string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the
assembler from putting null char after each string before \.
