Subject: [PATCH v4 11/14] pnpbios: replace paravirt_enabled() check with legacy device check

Since we are removing paravirt_enabled() replace it with a
logical equivalent. Even though PNPBIOS is x86 specific we
add an arch-specific type call, which can be implemented by
any architecture to show how other legacy attribute devices
can later be also checked for with other ACPI legacy attribute
flags.

This implicates the first ACPI 5.2.9.3 IA-PC Boot Architecture
ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES flag device, and shows how to add more.
