Subject: x86, xen: Suppress WP test on Xen

x86, xen: Suppress WP test on Xen

Xen always runs on CPUs which properly support WP enforcement in
privileged mode, so there's no need to test for it.

This also works around a crash reported by Arnd Hannemann, though I
think its just a band-aid for that case.
