[PATCH v6 6/6] x86/hyperv: Fix serial console interrupts for TDX guests

When a TDX guest runs on Hyper-V, the UEFI firmware sets the HW_REDUCED
flag, and consequently ttyS0 interrupts can't work. Fix the issue by
overriding x86_init.acpi.reduced_hw_early_init().

+ * When a TDX guest runs on Hyper-V, the firmware sets the HW_REDUCED flag: see
+ * acpi_tb_create_local_fadt(). Consequently ttyS0 interrupts can't work because
+ * request_irq() -> ... -> irq_to_desc() returns NULL for ttyS0. This happens
+ * because mp_config_acpi_legacy_irqs() sees a nr_legacy_irqs() of 0, so it
+ * doesn't initialize the array 'mp_irqs[]', and later setup_IO_APIC_irqs() ->
+ * find_irq_entry() fails to find the legacy irqs from the array, and hence
+ * doesn't create the necessary irq description info.
+ *
+ * Clone arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c: acpi_generic_reduced_hw_init() here,
+ * except don't change 'legacy_pic'. It keeps its default value
+ * 'default_legacy_pic'. mp_config_acpi_legacy_irqs() sees a non-zero
+ * nr_legacy_irqs(), and eventually serial console interrupts works properly.
