Zide Chen 5398c901f6 hv: remove CONFIG_PARTITION_MODE for pre-launched VM vE820 creation
Preparing for hybrid mode:

- create vE820 for pre-launched VMs and do other init code when the
  vm_config->type is PRE_LAUNCHED_VM.
- create ve820.c for each board because without wrapping by
  CONFIG_PARTITION_MODE, ve820_entry[] needs to be visible even when
  compiling target boards that haven't enabled pre-launched VMs.
- remove create_prelaunched_vm_e820() from vm.c and implement board
  specific function for each $(CONFIG_BOARD)/ve820.c. The reasons being:
  - don't need to define ve820_entry[32] for those boards that don't
    support pre-launched VMs.
  - more importantly, this makes it much easier to create different per-VM
    vE820 when it's needed.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
