The Store_field(result, 16, arch_config) sits inside an ifdef x86, meaning that on other archtiectures the pointer is not filled in. The Ocaml runtime then falls over a NULL pointer (really the Val_unit used to initialise 'result') when the layout in the heap doesn't match the type system. Rearrange alloc_domaininfo() to avoid this. Similarly to physinfo_arch_caps(), raise an exception if the architecture code hasn't filled in an appropriate tag. Move the setup of arch_domainconfig to be common logic. In order to simplify the addition of other architectures, remove the arch_config variable (resuing tmp as it's touched exactly once), and rename x86_arch_config to be arch_config so each architecture can fill in a suitable one without needing more local variables.
