To run in the VTL mode, Hyper-V drivers have to know what
VTL the system boots in, and the arm64/hyperv code does not
have the means to compute that.

Refactor the code to hoist the function that detects VTL,
make it arch-neutral to be able to employ it to get the VTL
on arm64. Fix the hypercall output address in `get_vtl(void)`
not to overlap with the hypercall input area to adhere to
the Hyper-V TLFS.

Rather than use the hyperv_pcpu_output_arg here, it's OK to
use a different area of the hyperv_pcpu_input_arg page.  For
example,

	output = (void *)input + HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE/2;

The TLFS does not require that the input and output be in
separate pages.

While using the hyperv_pcpu_output_arg is conceptually a
bit cleaner, doing so requires allocating a 4K page per CPU that
is not otherwise used. The VTL 2 code wants to be frugal with
memory, and this seems like a good step in that direction. :-)

I agree on the both counts: the code looks conceptually cleaner now and
VTL2 wants to be frugal with memory, esp that the output hypercall page
is per-CPU so we have O(n) as the CPU count increases. Still, the output
page will be needed for VTL2 (say to get/set registers just as done
here). That said, with this patch we can achieve both the conceptual
cleanliness and being ready to grow more on the primitives being built
out in the VTL support patches.


Could you elaborate further on why the output page is needed for
VTL2? The get/set register hypercalls can operate with just the input
page (again, splitting it into two halves for input and output args) as
long as the number of registers acted on by a single hypercall isn't
more than a few dozen.

If you really *do* need the output page in VTL2 for other reasons
that I'm not aware of, then my suggestion isn't relevant and there's
no memory to be saved.
VTL2 might potentially use any hypercalls being in some sense an exclave of the hypervisor living inside the guest quite similarly to the VBS/VTL1/SecureKernel.

The tradeoff here would be to save a page per processor at the cost of specializing the hypercall issuing code that would use a part of the input page to save memory (quite likely limiting which hypercalls can be used), or use the common implementation at the cost of spending one more page per processor. Less code means less maintenance usually so seems beneficial to choose the latter option although at the cost of using more memory.
