x86/paravirt: Prevent rtc_cmos platform device init on PV guests
Adding the rtc platform device in non-privileged Xen PV guests causes an IRQ conflict because these guests do not have legacy PIC and may allocate irqs in the legacy range. In a single VCPU Xen PV guest we should have: /proc/interrupts: CPU0 0: 4934 xen-percpu-virq timer0 1: 0 xen-percpu-ipi spinlock0 2: 0 xen-percpu-ipi resched0 3: 0 xen-percpu-ipi callfunc0 4: 0 xen-percpu-virq debug0 5: 0 xen-percpu-ipi callfuncsingle0 6: 0 xen-percpu-ipi irqwork0 7: 321 xen-dyn-event xenbus 8: 90 xen-dyn-event hvc_console ... But hvc_console cannot get its interrupt because it is already in use by rtc0 and the console does not work. genirq: Flags mismatch irq 8. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs. 00000000 (rtc0) We can avoid this problem by realizing that unprivileged PV guests (both Xen and lguests) are not supposed to have rtc_cmos device and so adding it is not necessary. Privileged guests (i.e. Xen's dom0) do use it but they should not have irq conflicts since they allocate irqs above legacy range (above gsi_top, in fact). Instead of explicitly testing whether the guest is privileged we can extend pv_info structure to include information about guest's RTC support.
