kvm: encapsulate HAS_DEVICE for vm attrs

More and more virtual machine specifics between kvm and qemu will be
transferred with vm attributes.
So we encapsulate the common logic in a generic function.

Additionally we need only to check during initialization if kvm supports
virtual machine attributes.
