Subject: [PATCH 4.14 098/159] x86/paravirt: Provide a way to check for hypervisors

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 79cc74155218316b9a5d28577c7077b2adba8e58 upstream.

There is no generic way to test whether a kernel is running on a specific
hypervisor. But that's required to prevent the upcoming user address space
separation feature in certain guest modes.

Make the hypervisor type enum unconditionally available and provide a
helper function which allows to test for a specific type.
