Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] x86/init: extend quirk use

This extends use of the quirks to other platorms as hinted as possible
and confirmed by hpa [0]. This small series depends on the work that added
this functionality [1] [2] to replace the paravirt_enabled() hacks
which is currently under review, sending this series separately. Its worth
reviewing already.

What seems a bit odd is CE4100 leaves RTC enabled, can someone
confirm if indeed it really needs it, or can it also disable it
as with Xen, lguest, and Intel MID ?
