I got back to this today and turns out there's a conflict with 

commit cc5851c6be864c5772944e32df3da322fe3ad415

    KVM: selftests: Use exception fixup for #UD/#GP Hyper-V MSR/hcall tests
 
in selftest part. It's nothing big but I did some non-trivial changes
when resolving and I think the reslut looks a bit nicer at the end.
Also, I've addresed one of your comments and moved
kvm_hv_get_tlb_flush_fifo()'s 'is_guest_mode' parameter introduction to
PATCH11. I'm going to send out v8 with these changes.
