Subject: [PATCH] x86/ptdump: Remove paravirt_enabled()

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

is_hypervisor_range() can simply check if the PGD index is
within ffff800000000000 - ffff87ffffffffff which is the range
reserved for a hypervisor. That range is practically an ABI, see
Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt.
