[PATCH] fix Xen detection for xenfs in pv_ops kernel

[Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de>]

The pv_ops kernel in mainline Linux provides xenfs which has to be
mounted at /proc/xen.  It creates /proc/xen/capabilities unconditionally
which makes it impossible to distinguish PVonHVM guests from PV guests.
Use code from xen-detect.c to check wether kexec runs on a PV guest.
Without this change PVonHVM guests will be detected incorrectly as plain
PV guests.
