Xen 4.8 will have CONFIG_HVM_FEP available, and the hvm_fep command line
option is available irrespective of whether it is a debug build of the
hypervisor.
Xen 4.5-4.7 have hvm_fep available on the command line, strictly for
debug builds of Xen only.
Older versions have no FEP support at all.
XTF tests which require FEP to function will probe and SKIP if support
is not available. This does mean that some tests can only sensibly work
against newer hypervisors.
