Will fix, thanks.

We do have some host-only interfaces in hyperv-tlfs.h that should not be there.
E.g. the create LP/VP hypercall inputs. We should drop them.

However, even if we fix that problem, the new headers still have conflicting
definitions, so need to be independent.
E.g. enum hv_message_type has many more members in the new headers.

We don't want to put anything not in the TLFS doc into hyperv-tlfs.h, even if it
can be ignored by the guest code.
