Subject: [PATCH 8/9] x86/rtc: replace paravirt_enabled() check with subarch check

The current check is a super long winded way of asking if this
is on lguest. The flags is used for legacy features, this is
likely inspired by the ACPI IA-PC boot architecture flags, where
as for RTC it annotates No CMOS real-time clock present. I don't
expect we will be implementing more legacy features, its simply
pointless so just remove this legacy flag feature thing as well.
