The current logic in the Intel PMC driver will forcefully attach it when detecting any CPU on the intel_pmc_core_platform_ids array, even if the matching ACPI device is not present.
There's no checking in pmc_core_probe() to assert that the PMC device is present, and hence on virtualized environments the PMC device probes successfully, even if the underlying registers are not present. Previous to 21ae43570940 the driver would check for the presence of a specific PCI device, and that prevented the driver from attaching when running virtualized. Fix by only forcefully attaching the PMC device when not running virtualized. Note that virtualized platforms can still get the device to load if the appropriate ACPI device is present on the tables provided to the VM. Make an exception for the Xen initial domain, which does have full hardware access, and hence can attach to the PMC if present.
