xen: Add support for XenServer 6.1 platform device
On XenServer on Windows machine a platform device with ID 2 instead of
1 is used.
This device is mainly identical to device 1 but due to some Windows
update behaviour it was decided to use a device with a different ID.
This causes compatibility issues with Linux which expects, if Xen
is detected, to find a Xen platform device (5853:0001) otherwise code
will crash due to some missing initialization (specifically grant
tables). Specifically from dmesg

Qemu command line.
