The comment is correct, but to me doesn't tell the full story.
I initially wondered why the revision test < 6 was being done,
since Hyper-V for ARM64 always provides ACPI 6.x or greater.
But the test is needed to catch running in some unknown
non-Hyper-V environment that has ACPI 5.x or less. In such a
case, it can't be Hyper-V, so just return false instead of testing
a bogus hypervisor_id field. Maybe a comment would help
explain it to someone like me who was confused. :-)


Thanks, I'll extend the comment to tell the whole story!

[...]

+	ms_hyperv.vtl = get_vtl();

The above statement looks like it will fail to compile on
arm64 since the get_vtl() function is entirely on the x86
side until Patch 3 of this series. As of this Patch 1, there's
no declaration of get_vtl() available to arm64.


I used my working branch for testing
https://github.com/romank-msft/linux-hyperv/tree/vtl_mode_arm64_v4
and didn't move that code around when chunking into patches.
Will fix the workflow, thanks for catching this!

+	/* Report if non-default VTL */
+	if (ms_hyperv.vtl > 0)

Could this message include the VTL number as well? In the long
run, I think there will be code at non-zero VTLs other than VTL 2.


Absolutely, will add!
