Subject: [PATCH 127/135] x86/hyperv: Avoid reporting bogus NMI status for Gen2
instances
[ Upstream commit 1e2ae9ec072f3b7887f456426bc2cf23b80f661a ]
Generation2 instances don't support reporting the NMI status on port 0x61,
read from there returns 'ff' and we end up reporting nonsensical PCI
error (as there is no PCI bus in these instances) on all NMIs:
NMI: PCI system error (SERR) for reason ff on CPU 0.
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
Fix the issue by overriding x86_platform.get_nmi_reason. Use 'booted on
EFI' flag to detect Gen2 instances.
