I see you also fixed 'HV_GENERIC_SET_SPARCE_4K' typo. I don't think it's
a big deal as we fix it in the same way :-)

I see you also altered hv_flush_pcpu_ex definition but kept it in mmu.c:
I think my patches should be applied on top of yours, I only need to
move it to hyperv-tlfs.h header and get rid of _pcpu suffix.

I hope Thomas will merge your patches very soon. In case Paolo/Radim
decide that my series is ready too we'll ask their guidance on how to
resolve the conflict (topic branch?). It should be relatively easy.

Thanks,
