xen/acpi: allow xen-acpi-processor driver to load on Xen 4.7
[ Upstream commit 6f2d9d99 ] As of Xen 4.7 PV CPUID doesn't expose either of CPUID[1].ECX[7] and CPUID[0x80000007].EDX[7] anymore, causing the driver to fail to load on both Intel and AMD systems. Doing any kind of hardware capability checks in the driver as a prerequisite was wrong anyway: With the hypervisor being in charge, all such checking should be done by it. If ACPI data gets uploaded despite some missing capability, the hypervisor is free to ignore part or all of that data. Ditch the entire check_prereq() function, and do the only valid check (xen_initial_domain()) in the caller in its place.
