Because it makes paravirt a special case, and there's usually very
little reason to make it special in the EFI code. Special-casing means
more branches, more code paths, a bigger testing matrix and more
complex code. 

EFI_PARAVIRT does have its uses, like for those scenarios where we
don't have a table of function pointers that can be overidden for
paravirt.

But we do have such a table for ->reset_system().
