I think we are waiting for x86 maintainers to express their preference. 
There were 3 proposals to add in add_rtc_cmos()

1. if (!nr_legacy_irqs())
            return -ENODEV;

2. #ifdef XEN
        if (xen_pv_domain())
                return -ENODEV;
    #endif

3. if (paravirt_enabled())
            return -ENODEV;
