I would prefer if we had a comment. Your proposal makes more sense as we
only create the DT.
Long term, I would expect a similar check to be necessary to set the
vCPI flag at the domain creation. So it would be best to introduce an
internal field 'vpci' to avoid duplicating that check. (Note I am not
requesting this change for Xen 4.16).
