xen: introduce xen_console_io option
Xen can support console_io hypercalls for any domains, not just dom0, depending on DEBUG and XSM policies. These hypercalls can be very useful for development and debugging. Introduce a kernel command line option xen_console_io to enable the usage of console_io hypercalls for any domain upon request. When xen_console_io is not specified, the current behavior is retained.
