Subject: [PATCH] EDAC/amd64: Do not load EDAC driver when running as a guest

Similar to commit f0a029fff4a5 ("EDAC/Intel: Do not load EDAC driver when running as a guest")

There's little to no point in loading an EDAC driver running in a guest.

Add a check in each of the Intel EDAC drivers for X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR
and simply return -ENODEV in the init routine.
