Juergen Gross 12ad6cfc09 x86/xen: remove xen_have_vcpu_info_placement flag
The flag xen_have_vcpu_info_placement was needed to support Xen
hypervisors older than version 3.4, which didn't support the
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info hypercall. Today the Linux kernel requires
at least Xen 4.0 to be able to run, so xen_have_vcpu_info_placement
can be dropped (in theory the flag was used to ensure a working kernel
even in case of the VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info hypercall failing for
other reasons than the hypercall not being supported, but the only
cases covered by the flag would be parameter errors, which ought not
to be made anyway).

This allows to let some functions return void now, as they can never
fail.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
