[PATCH] detect Xen dom0 properly to avoid conflict with pv_on_hvm domU

A Xen HVM guest with PV drivers loaded has also a /proc/xen directory.
But such a guest is an ordinary PC and the special handling for dom0
breaks kdump in this environment.
Test for /proc/xen/capabilities instead and cache the result.
Also make two variables static, they are only used in this file.
