The parameter "xen.check.hvm" was supposed to control if the host should be hvm
enabled or not.
Currently, since it is not set in the db implies that only hvm enabled
xenserver host can be added to the cloud.
HVM mode is required for windows VM.
It is right to enforce the hvm mode for the cloud as otherwise it will not be
able to support the full cloud functionality.
