For Root partition the VP assist pages are pre-determined by the
hypervisor. The Root kernel is not allowed to change them to
different locations. And thus, we are getting below stack as in
current implementation Root is trying to perform write to specific
MSR.

Since, the hypervisor already provides the VP assist page for root
partition, we need to memremaps the memory from hypervisor for root
kernel to use. The mapping is done in hv_cpu_init during bringup and
is unmaped in hv_cpu_die during teardown.
