There is already a check for apm_info.bios == 0, the apm_info.bios is set from the boot_params.apm_bios_info. Both Xen and lguest, which are also the only ones that set paravirt_enabled to true, never set the apm_bios.info. The Xen folks are sure force disable to 0 is not needed because apm_info lives in .bss, we recently forced disabled this on lguest, and on the Xen side just to be sure Boris zeroed out the .bss for PV guests through commit 04b6b4a56884327c1648 ("xen/x86: Zero out .bss for PV guests"). With this care taken into consideration the paravirt_enabled() check is simply not needed anymore. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
