Jeremy, thank you for your comments. I am attaching the next version of this patch that addresses the comments I have gotten thus far.

It looks like you overlooked a couple of comments.

Did you not want to call it "hyperv" for some reason?

Why 20?  You're only putting 12 bytes into it.

+	*(u32 *)(hyp_signature + 8) = edx;

The message is pointless. There's nothing to error or warn about booting under some other
hypervisor.

Thanks,
