xen: arm: mandate EABI and use generic atomic operations.

Rob Herring has observed that c81611c4 "xen: event channel arrays are
xen_ulong_t and not unsigned long" introduced a compile failure when building
without CONFIG_AEABI:

/tmp/ccJaIZOW.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccJaIZOW.s:831: Error: even register required -- `ldrexd r5,r6,[r4]'

Will Deacon pointed out that this is because OABI does not require even base
registers for 64-bit values. We can avoid this by simply using the existing
atomic64_xchg operation and the same containerof trick as used by the cmpxchg
macros. However since this code is used on memory which is shared with the
hypervisor we require proper atomic instructions and cannot use the generic
atomic64 callbacks (which are based on spinlocks), therefore add a dependency
on !GENERIC_ATOMIC64. Since we already depend on !CPU_V6 there isn't much
downside to this.

While thinking about this we also observed that OABI has different struct
alignment requirements to EABI, which is a problem for hypercall argument
structs which are shared with the hypervisor and which must be in EABI layout.
Since I don't expect people to want to run OABI kernels on Xen depend on
CONFIG_AEABI explicitly too (although it also happens to be enforced by the
!GENERIC_ATOMIC64 requirement too).
