I still think the pkvm drivers should be bound to some special pkvm
device_driver and the driver core should handle all this special
dancing:
 - Wait for pkvm to decide if it will start or not
 - Claim a device for pkvm and make it visible in some generic way,eg
   in sysfs
 - Fall back to using the normal driver once we conclude pkvm won't
   run.

It sounds like a pain to open code all this logic in every pkvm
driver? How many do you have?
