/// Only works on x86/x86_64 platform.
///
/// Doesn't panic and in case something strange happens, it returns
/// `false` in favor of a `Result`, because these errors are absolutely
/// unlikely.
///
/// ## Example Usage
///
/// ```rust
/// # use runs_inside_qemu::runs_inside_qemu;
///
/// fn main() {
///     // If we are in QEMU, we use the nice "debugcon"-feature which maps
///     // the x86 I/O-port `0xe9` to stdout or a file.
///     if runs_inside_qemu() {
///         unsafe {
///             x86::io::outb(0xe9, b'H');
///             x86::io::outb(0xe9, b'e');
///             x86::io::outb(0xe9, b'l');
///             x86::io::outb(0xe9, b'l');
///             x86::io::outb(0xe9, b'o');
///             x86::io::outb(0xe9, b'\n');
