9c35e90c6f xen: pvhvm: make it clearer that XEN_UNPLUG_* define bits in a bitfield 
by defining in terms of (1<<N).

XEN_UNPLUG_UNNECESSARY and XEN_UNPLUG_NEVER are only used within the
kernel and are not defined as a bit on the unplug IO port. Therefore
use a bit which is outside the potentially valid range of the 16 bit
IO port.

1dc7ce99b0 xen: pvhvm: rename xen_emul_unplug=ignore to =unnnecessary 
It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become
ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the
emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does
not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).

I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

c93a4dfb31 xen: pvhvm: allow user to request no emulated device unplug 
this allows the user to disable pvhvm and revert to emulated devices
in case of a system misconfiguration (e.g. initramfs with only
emulated drivers in it).

c1c5413ad5 x86: Unplug emulated disks and nics. 
Add a xen_emul_unplug command line option to the kernel to unplug
xen emulated disks and nics.

Set the default value of xen_emul_unplug depending on whether or
not the Xen PV frontends and the Xen platform PCI driver have
been compiled for this kernel (modules or built-in are both OK).

The user can specify xen_emul_unplug=ignore to enable PV drivers on HVM
even if the host platform doesn't support unplug.
