[PATCH hyperv-next 0/2] x86/hyperv: VTL mode reboot fixes

[Roman Kisel <romank@linux.microsoft.com>]

The first patch defines a specialized machine emergency restart
callback not to write to the physical address of 0x472 which is
what the native_machine_emergency_restart() does unconditionally.

I first wanted to tweak that function[1], and in the course of
the discussion it looked as the risks of doing that would
outweigh the benefit: the bare-metal systems have likely adopted
that behavior as a standard although I could not find any mentions
of that magic address in the UEFI+ACPI specification.

The second patch removes the need to always supply "reboot=t"
to the kernel command line in the OpenHCL bootloader [2]. There is
no other option at the moment; when/if it appears the newly added
callback's code can be adjusted as required.

It would be great to apply this to the stable tree if no concerns,
should apply cleanly.
