Subject: [PATCH] x86/hyperv: avoid reporting wrong NMI statuses for Gen2 instances

Generation2 instances don't support reporting 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.
