Right, I think we're ok with the following basic rules:

- pure arch/x86/ code should use the x86_platform function pointers to
  query hypervisor capabilities/peculiarities

- cc_platform_has() should be used in generic/driver code as it
  abstracts away the underlying platform better. IOW, querying
  x86_platform.... in generic, platform-agnostic driver code looks weird to
  say the least

The hope is that those two should be enough to support most guest types
and not let the zoo get too much out of hand...

Thx.
