Subject: x86/virt: Add enum for hypervisors to replace x86_hyper

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>

commit 03b2a320b19f1424e9ac9c21696be9c60b6d0d93 upstream.

The x86_hyper pointer is only used for checking whether a virtual
device is supporting the hypervisor the system is running on.

Use an enum for that purpose instead and drop the x86_hyper pointer.
