Peter -- I've sent you an RFC patch to incorporate into your broader
patch set.  I think it probably makes sense for all the Hyper-V
stuff to be a separate patch.

I haven't previously worked with the details of notrace vs. noinstr,
but I followed the patterns elsewhere in patch set. Please review
to see if it seems correct.

One thing:  In the cases where I added __always_inline, I dropped
any notrace or noinstr annotations.  I presume such code always
takes on the attributes of the caller.  If that's not correct, let me know.

Michael
