This option is used to enable/disable partial emulation of registers at runtime.
While CONFIG_PARTIAL_EMULATION enables support for partial emulation at compile
time (ie adds code for partial emulation), this option may be enabled or
disabled by Yocto or other build systems.
However, customers can use scripts like Imagebuilder to generate uboot script
for booting Xen. These scripts can use "partial-emulation=true" to support this
at runtime.
This option is set to false by default so that customers are fully aware when
they enable partial emulation. They can also disable it without the need to
rebuild Xen.
