[PATCH v2] firmware/shim: UNSUPPORTED=n

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

We shouldn't default to include any unsupported code in the shim. Mark
the setting as off, replacing the ARGO specification. This points out
anomalies with the scheduler configuration: Unsupported schedulers
better don't default to Y in release builds (like is already the case
for ARINC653). Without at least the SCHED_NULL adjustments, the shim
would suddenly build with RTDS as its default scheduler.

As a result, the SCHED_NULL setting can also be dropped from defconfig.

Clearly with the shim defaulting to it, SCHED_NULL must be supported at
least there.

v2: Also drop SCHED_NULL setting from defconfig. Make SCHED_NULL the
    default when PV_SHIM_EXCLUSIVE.
---
I'm certainly open to consider alterations on the sched/Kconfig
adjustments, but _something_ needs to be done there. In particular I
was puzzled to find the NULL scheduler marked unsupported. Clearly with
the shim defaulting to it, it must be supported at least there.

In a PV_SHIM (but perhaps !PV_SHIM_EXCLUSIVE) build with the build-time
default not being SCHED_NULL, when actually running as shim I can't seem
to see how the null scheduler would get chosen as the default
nevertheless. Shouldn't this happen (in the absence of a command line
override)?
