Yes!!!

We were using 'current_vcpu' instead of 'vcpu' here before but Sean
warned me about the danger of shadowing global 'current_vcpu' so I added
'KVM: x86: hyper-v: Stop shadowing global 'current_vcpu' variable' to
the series. Aparently, I missed this 'current_vcpu' while
rebasing. AFAIU, normally vcpu == current_vcpu when entering this
function so nothing blew up in my testing.

Thanks for the report! I'll be sending a patch to fix this shortly.

That's good to hear! Are you testing on Intel or AMD? With AMD there's a
stale bug somewhere which prevents Gen2 (UEFI) L2 guests from booting,
the firmare just hangs somewhere not making any progress. Both Hyper-V
2016 and 2019 seem to be affected. Gen1 guests (including Windows in
root partition) work fine. I tried approaching it a couple times but
with no luck so far. Not sure if this is CPU specific or something...
