The current logic in the Intel PMC driver will forcefully attach it
when detecting any CPU on the intel_pmc_core_platform_ids array,
even if the matching ACPI device is not present.
There's no checking in pmc_core_probe() to assert that the PMC device
is present, and hence on virtualized environments the PMC device
probes successfully, even if the underlying registers are not present.
Previous to 21ae43570940 the driver would check for the presence of a
specific PCI device, and that prevented the driver from attaching when
running virtualized.
Fix by only forcefully attaching the PMC device when not running
virtualized. Note that virtualized platforms can still get the device
to load if the appropriate ACPI device is present on the tables
provided to the VM.
Make an exception for the Xen initial domain, which does have full
hardware access, and hence can attach to the PMC if present.

Changes since v2:
- Don't split condition line.
Changes since v1:
- Use cpu_feature_enabled() instead of boot_cpu_has().
