HV_X64_MSR_RESET msr is used by Hyper-V based Windows guest
to reset guest VM by hypervisor. This msr is stateless so
no migration/fetch/update is required.
This code checks cpu option "hv-reset" and support by
kernel. If both conditions are met appropriate Hyper-V features
cpuid bit is set.

Hyper-V features bit HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX_AVAILABLE value is
based on cpu option "hv-vpindex" and kernel support of
HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX.

From: Andrey Smetanin <asmetanin@virtuozzo.com>
HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME msr used by guest to get
"the time the virtual processor consumes running guest code,
and the time the associated logical processor spends running
hypervisor code on behalf of that guest."
Calculation of that time is performed by task_cputime_adjusted()
for vcpu task by KVM side.

They didn't compile on ARM or Win32, hence the header file changes which
delayed them a bit. But I still plan to send out the pull request very
soon, maybe today (ouch, it's already 12:30).
I wanted to include the record-replay patches, but they are big enough
that they probably deserve their own pull request, and my queue already
has 23 patches...

No, it's just my issue.
However, there is something we can improve about the process. QEMU
typically updates header files around 4.3-rc5 (by importing the changes
destined to 4.4), so we need a place to put this kind of patch that
depends on Linux header changes. Therefore:
1) I've made a staging branch uq/hyperv (uq = upstream queue) on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git - you can base your
patches on that branch as soon as I create it.
2) if you have more changes to asm/hyperv.h, bundle them and send them
to kvm@vger.kernel.org. I'll include them in kvm/queue all at the same
time, which will make header file synchronization less of a problem in
the future.
