Not my but rather PCI maintainer's call but IMHO dropping 'const' is
better, introducing a new global var is our 'last resort' and should be
avoided whenever possible. Alternatively, you can add a
raw_pci_ext_ops_preferred() function checking somethin within 'struct
hypervisor_x86' but I'm unsure if it's better.
Also, please check Alex' question/suggestion.
