Subject: drm/i915: Fix GVT-g PVINFO version compatibility check

From: Zhenyu Wang <[email protected]>

commit c380f681245d7ae57f17d9ebbbe8f8f1557ee1fb upstream.

Current it's strictly checked if PVINFO version matches 1.0 for GVT-g i915 guest which doesn't help for compatibility at all and forces GVT-g host can't extend PVINFO easily with version bump for real compatibility check.

This fixes that to check minimal required PVINFO version instead.

v2:
- drop unneeded version macro
- use only major version for sanity check

v3:
- fix up PVInfo value with kernel type
- one indent fix
