There is already a check for apm_info.bios == 0, the apm_info.bios is set from the boot_params.apm_bios_info. Both Xen and lguest, which are also the only ones that set paravirt_enabled to true, never set the apm_bios.info. The
Xen folks are sure force disable to 0 is not needed, we recently forced disabled this on lguest. With this in place the paravirt_enabled() check is simply not needed anymore. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
