COMPAT is actually the 32bit interface support on 64bit Xen, and applies
equally to 32bit HVM guests.  It is an overly large bucket which should
be disentangled moving forwards.

It is (sadly) mandatory for HVM guests, as HVMLoader makes 32bit
hypercalls irrespective of the destination runmode of the guest.

For now, I would just word this as "32-bit Interface support".
