(Nitpick and rather a personal preference): I'd prefer
'hv_partition_is_root' for a boolean.

Eventually this is not going to be an x86 only thing I believe?

We may want to cache cpuid_ebx(HYPERV_CPUID_FEATURES) somewhere but we
already had a discussion regading naming for these caches and decided to
wait until TLFS for ARM is out so we don't need to rename again.
