XEN_UNPLUG_UNNECESSARY was introduced to enable the platform PCI device
even if it didn't respond properly to the unplug protocol.
The corresponding parameter is called "unnecessary" because if you pass
it to the kernel you mean that it is unnecessary to unplug the emulated
devices but you can use the pv devices anyway.

So no, we shouldn't check for XEN_UNPLUG_UNNECESSARY here.
