This compat property sole function is to prevent the device from being
instantiated. Instead of requiring an extra compat property, check if
fw_cfg has DMA enabled.
fw_cfg is a built-in device that is initialized very early by the
machine init code. We have at least one other device that also
assumes fw_cfg_find() can be safely used on realize: pvpanic.
This has the additional benefit of handling other cases properly, like:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device vmgenid -machine none
qemu-system-x86_64: -device vmgenid: vmgenid requires DMA write support in fw_cfg, which this machine type does not provide
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device vmgenid -machine pc-i440fx-2.9 -global fw_cfg.dma_enabled=off
qemu-system-x86_64: -device vmgenid: vmgenid requires DMA write support in fw_cfg, which this machine type does not provide
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device vmgenid -machine pc-i440fx-2.6 -global fw_cfg.dma_enabled=on

The WRITE_POINTER linker/loader command that underlies VMGENID depends on
commit baf2d5bfba ("fw-cfg: support writeable blobs", 2017-01-12), which
in turn depends on fw_cfg DMA.
DMA for fw_cfg is enabled in 2.5+ machine types only (see commit
e6915b5f3a, "fw_cfg: unbreak migration compatibility for 2.4 and earlier
machines", 2016-02-18).

This implements the VM Generation ID feature by passing a 128-bit
GUID to the guest via a fw_cfg blob.
Any time the GUID changes, an ACPI notify event is sent to the guest
The user interface is a simple device with one parameter:
- guid (string, must be "auto" or in UUID format
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)
