xen: remove pre-xen3 fallback handlers
The legacy hypercall handlers were originally added with a comment explaining that "copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op() and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently safe" and only made sure to not write past the end of the argument structure, the checks in linux/string.h disagree with that, when link-time optimizations are used: In function 'memcpy', inlined from 'pirq_query_unmask' at drivers/xen/fallback.c:53:2, inlined from '__startup_pirq' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:529:2, inlined from 'restore_pirqs' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1439:3, inlined from 'xen_irq_resume' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1581:2: include/linux/string.h:350:3: error: call to '__read_overflow2' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter __read_overflow2(); ^ Further research turned out that only Xen 3.0.2 or earlier required the fallback at all, while all versions in use today don't need it. As far as I can tell, it is not even possible to run a mainline kernel on those old Xen releases, at the time when they were in use, only a patched kernel was supported anyway.
