This patch adds a has_xsm_magic helper function for detecting XSM from the second unknown module.
If Xen can't get the kind of module from compatible, we guess the kind of these unknowns respectively: (1) The first unknown must be kernel. (2) Detect the XSM Magic from the 2nd unknown: a. If it's XSM, set the kind as XSM, and that also means we won't load ramdisk; b. if it's not XSM, set the kind as ramdisk. So if user want to load ramdisk, it must be the 2nd unknown. We also detect the XSM Magic for the following unknowns, then set its kind according to the return value of has_xsm_magic.
By this way, arm64 behavior can be compatible to x86 and can simplify multi-arch bootloader such as GRUB.
