I think we want tighter conditions on initializing the xive_native
stuff and creating the xive device class.  We could have
xive_enabled() returning true in a guest, and this code will get
called both by PR KVM and HV KVM (and HV KVM no longer implies that we
are running bare metal).

Same comment here.
