Relying on presence / absence of hypervisor leaves in raw / escaped
CPUID output cannot be used to tell apart PV and HVM on CPUID faulting
capable hardware. Utilize a PV-only feature flag to avoid false positive
HVM detection.
While at it also short circuit the main detection loop: For PV, only
the base group of leaves can possibly hold hypervisor information.
