branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The Xen build system builds and embeds a default XSM FLASK (Flux Advanced
Security Kernel) security policy if it detects SELinux checkpolicy on the
build machine.

If enabled, a gen-policy.py python script is used to convert the binary
FLASK policy to a C array initialization list to embed it in the Xen binary.
Depending on the python version and locale available on the host, this fails
with byte values outside the 0..255 range:

policy.c:7:10: error: unsigned conversion from 'int' to 'unsigned char' changes value from '56575' to '255' [-Werror=overflow]
  0xdc8c, 0xdcff, 0x7c, 0xdcf9, 0x08, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x58, 0x65, 0x6e, 0x46, 0x6c,

To fix this and ensure a consistent build, pass XEN_HAS_CHECKPOLICY=n to
disable the checkpolicy detection.
