Defining the hyper-call arguments on the stack can be problematic
if CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is defined - since we are passing the guest
physical address to the hypervisor, we cannot have the arguments
straddle a page boundary.
We have dealt with this issue currently by making sure the arguments are
never on the stack via different means. Perhaps, we can allocate memory
on a per-cpu basis that can be used for this purpose. In fact, this is what I have done
for the   hv_post_message hypercall. We can just rename that page and use it in all
hypercalls - we can just allocate two pages on a per-CPU basis for this purpose
(for input and output parameters).
