To support Linux guests on Hyper-V on multiple architectures, the original approach factored out all differences between Hyper-V on x86/x64 and Hyper-V on ARM64 into functions or #defines under arch/x86 and arch/arm64. Some of these differences are truly related to the architecture, but others are more properly treated as Linux OS differences or just quirks in Hyper-V. Feedback from Arnd Bergmann[1] recommended that differences other than architecture should be incorporated into the architecture independent Hyper-V code. Each difference can be handled with conditions specific to the difference instead of tying it to the broader x86/x64 vs. ARM64. This approach reduces the amount of code under arch/x86 and arch/arm64 and keeps the non-architectural differences localized and more easily understood. This patch set implements the new approach by changing the interface between the architecture independent code and the architecture dependent code for x86/x64. The patches move code from arch/x86 to the architecture independent Hyper-V code whenever possible, and add architecture independent support needed by other architectures like ARM64. No functionality is changed for x86/x64. A subsequent patch set will provide the Hyper-V support code under arch/arm64. This patch set results in an increase in lines of code (though some of the increase is additional comments). But the lines needed under arch/arm64 in the upcoming patch set is significantly reduced, resulting in a net decrease of about 125 lines.
