[PATCH v5 00/16] Introducing Linux root partition support for Microsoft Hypervisor

Hi all

Here we propose this patch series to make Linux run as the root partition [0]
on Microsoft Hypervisor [1]. There will be a subsequent patch series to provide a
device node (/dev/mshv) such that userspace programs can create and run virtual
machines. We've also ported Cloud Hypervisor [3] over and have been able to
boot a Linux guest with Virtio devices since late July 2020.

This series implements only the absolutely necessary components to get
things running. A large portion of this series consists of patches that
augment hyperv-tlfs.h. They should be rather uncontroversial and can be
applied right away.

A few key things other than the changes to hyperv-tlfs.h:

1. Linux needs to setup existing Hyper-V facilities differently.
2. Linux needs to make a few hypercalls to bring up APs.
3. Interrupts are remapped by IOMMU, which is controlled by the hypervisor.
Linux needs to make hypercalls to map and unmap interrupts. This is
done by introducing a new MSI irqdomain and extending the remapping
domain in hyperv-iommu.

This series is now based on 5.11-rc2.

Posting v5 with the latest changes to get some testing from various
kernel test bots, with the intention to merge this series soon.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Wei.

[0] Just think of it like Xen's Dom0.
[1] Hyper-V is more well-known, but it really refers to the whole stack
including the hypervisor and other components that run in Windows kernel
and userspace.
