There are two ways of performing preprocessor stringificaion in the
current code: __stringify() from stringify.h, and STR() from config.h.
This patch consolidates down to one.

But backwards. You didn't ask which way to do the consolidation, and I suppose
you also didn't check which one got added later. We should retain the (Linux
conforming) __stringify() and drop STR(), if we do any such cleanup change at all.

we can set it back later.

This patch ports the basic alternative mechanism from Linux to Xen.
With this mechanism, we can patch code based on the CPU features.

Given this ordering, it might be cleaner to have an
ASSERT(!local_irq_enabled()) in the top of alternative_instructions(),
and forgo the local_irq_save/restore() in text_poke_early().
If you can move this higher up before enabling MCEs in CR4, it might be
slightly more resilient.

MCE bit in CR4 is set in identify_cpu() --> mcheck_init() --> set_in_cr4(X86_CR4_MCE), but
apply_alternatives() needs boot_cpu_data.x86_capability being ready, since it calls boot_cpu_has().
If we put alternative_instructions() before enabling MCEs in CR4, which place do you suggest? Thanks!

One option would be to temporarily disable it in cr4 at the same point
that NMIs are nopped out, in the same way as temporarily disabling
CR4.SMAP when building dom0.
At the end of the day, an MCE will certainly result in a crash, but at
least it wouldn't be from a weird fault because some of the codepath in
the MCE handler was midway through being patched.

We can see that the MCE remains enabled here on purpose. It says "Ignoring the MCE is worse than a _unlikely_ patching race."
Do you think we still need to disable MCE, or should we follow the current solution in Linux?

FWIW I can see downsides to both approaches, and hence would tend
towards following the original (Linux) route here despite the broadcasting
aspect mentioned above being IIRC an Intel specific, i.e. more of a
problem on AMD systems.
