[PATCH 1/1] X86: Handle Xen emulation of Hyper-V more gracefully

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Install the Hyper-V specific interrupt handler only when needed. This would
permit us to get rid of the Xen check. Note that when the vmbus drivers invokes
the call to register its handler, we are sure to be running on Hyper-V.
