Currently, when booting a 32bit dom0 kernel, the message isn't very
helpful:

  (XEN)  Xen  kernel: 64-bit, lsb
  (XEN)  Dom0 kernel: 32-bit, PAE, lsb, paddr 0x100000 -> 0x112000
  (XEN) Mismatch between Xen and DOM0 kernel
  (XEN)
  (XEN) ****************************************
  (XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
  (XEN) Could not construct domain 0
  (XEN) ****************************************

With this adjustment, it now looks like this:

  (XEN)  Xen  kernel: 64-bit, lsb
  (XEN) Found 32-bit PV kernel, but CONFIG_PV32 missing
  (XEN)
  (XEN) ****************************************
  (XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
  (XEN) Could not construct domain 0
  (XEN) ****************************************

I don't see the "goto" as warranted here, not the least because the
code fragment right above the "#else" you add also uses plain "return".
With just "return -ENODEV;" (or maybe better "return -EOPNOTSUPP;")
Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>

In fact I think most "goto out;" are unwarranted in this function.
The only two places that want elf_check_broken() to be invoked are
after elf_xen_parse() and after elf_load_binary(). You'd be welcome
to add a 2nd patch to clean this up.
