Allocating a vector up-front like the existing HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR would certainly be more straightforward, and in fact, my original internal testing of stimer Direct Mode used that approach. Vectors are a limited resource, so I wanted to find a way to allocate one on-the-fly rather than use fixed pre-allocation, even under CONFIG_HYPERV. But I've got no problem with allocating a vector up-front and skipping all the irq/APIC manipulation and related issues.
Any guidance on which vector to use?

We've got code in the works for Hyper-V on ARM64. This is architecture independent code that caters to the ARM64 side where stimer Direct Mode will use percpu IRQs, and hooks are needed to call enable_percpu_irq() and disable_percpu_irq().

Will submit a v2 with that approach.
