Hypervisor callback interrupts are only accounted on Xen/Hyper-V and we

So I think we should simplify this to:

        if (x86_hyper) {
                ...
        }

this will print the HYP line on hypervisors that don't use
HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR, but it will make it a lot more self-maintaining, we
won't accidentally skip this line on hypervisors that start using the callback
IRQ.
This is a good point. When virt stuff creeps out, it's easy to lose track of
it. But, I would prefer that vmware and kvm guests don't have to have a
meaningless counter in /proc/interrupts. Also, for xen, I see that it only
matters for x86. ARM xen builds would also have a meaningless counter. Maybe
we should add a flags member to hypervisor_x86, and start using that in
these types of situations.

This is all x86 arch code so I don't see how it will make any difference to Xen on ARM.
