Eww :-)

I posted a small series to fix the casting[*], and as noted in the cover letter it's
going to conflict mightily.  Ignoring merge order for the moment, looking at the
series as a whole, if the Hyper-V definitions are moved to hyperv-tlfs.h, then I'm
tempted to say there's no need for svm/hyperv.h.

There should never be users of this stuff outside of svm/nested.c, and IMO there's
not enough stuff to warrant a separate set of files.  nested_svm_hv_update_vp_assist()
isn't SVM specific and fits better alongside kvm_hv_get_assist_page().

That leaves three functions and ~40 lines of code, which can easily go directly
into svm/nested.c.

I'm definitely not dead set against having hyperv.{ch}, but unless there's a high
probability of SVM+Hyper-V getting to eVMCS levels of enlightenment, my vote is
to put these helpers in svm/nested.c and move then if/when we do end up accumulating
more SVM+Hyper-V code.
  
As for merge order, I don't think there's a need for this series to take a
dependency on the cleanup, especially if these helpers land in nested.c.  Fixing
up the casting and s/hv_enlightenments/hv_vmcb_enlightenments is straightforward.
