[Quantal SRU] xen: enable platform-pci only in a Xen guest

This is a change asked to be included by Citrix. There is a crash
if the cpuid bits of a guest are masked in a way that it would not
detect the hypervisor being present (so the guest thinks it run on
bare-metal). The exact masking is unknown, though.

The patch, however, looks like a straight forward change and is
upstream as well.

Subject: [PATCH] xen: enable platform-pci only in a Xen guest

While debugging kexec issues in a PVonHVM guest I modified
xen_hvm_platform() to return false to disable all PV drivers. This
caused a crash in platform_pci_init() because it expects certain data
structures to be initialized properly.

To avoid such a crash make sure the driver is initialized only if
running in a Xen guest.
