KVM against the new file descriptor.

This seems odd. Why use the hyperv_enabled boolean, rather than simply
the msr value, since when hyperv_enabled is set you will be calling
do_initialize_xen_caps() twice.

Clearly here the code would be simpler here if you just saved the value
of hypercall_msr which you have used in the call above.
