Subject: x86/xen: build "Xen PV" APIC driver for domU as well

commit fc5fee86bdd3d720e2d1d324e4fae0c35845fa63 upstream.

It turns out that a PV domU also requires the "Xen PV" APIC
driver. Otherwise, the flat driver is used and we get stuck in busy
loops that never exit, such as in this stack trace:
