Since xen_hvm_domain() is always true if xen_cpuid_base() != 0, isn't
this more obviously written as:
	if (!xen_hvm_domain())
		return false;
	if (xen_feature(XENFEAT_hvm_pirqs) && xen_have_vector_callback)
		return false;
	return true;
?

Also, checking for the XenVMMXenVMM signature alone seems like a very
broad test for checking the availability of a specific feature, is there
nothing more specific which we could/should be testing?

Ian.
