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

RIP: 0010:gnttab_expand+0x29/0x210

The device 2 is presented by Xapi adding device specification to
Qemu command line.
