Move the functions that reference x86 hvm data structures to its own

There is still one location in that file which references
arch.hvm_domain, but it is fine because ARM guest is HVM.

ARM doesn't select HAS_PCI, that's why ARM build is not broken by
this. AIUI ARM will select HAS_PCI at some point, hence I only move
the x86 bits.

The fact that this change doesn't actually affect ARM is again an
indication that the decision whether the code you move here is
x86-specific depends on what parts of PCI pass-through ARM is
actually going to want to (re-)use. I'd again prefer to take that
decision either when ARM actually implements that, or based on
the ARM folks clearly foreseeing that this code is not coming
close to anything they may want use.

I can't see any use of that code on Arm. There are potential to move x86-ism outside, but this patch is already a good start.

I already gave my acked-by on a separate e-mail.

Cheers,
