I'm not sure use of kmem_cache is justified here: pages we allocate are
not cache-line and all these allocations are supposed to persist for the
lifetime of the guest. In case you think that even on x86 it will be
possible to see PAGE_SIZE != HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE you can use alloc_pages()
instead.
Also, in case the idea is to generalize stuff, what will happen if
PAGE_SIZE > HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE? Who will guarantee proper alignment?
I think we can leave hypercall arguments, vp_assist and similar pages
alone for now: the code is not going to be shared among architectures
anyways.

_RX is not writeable, right?

Please don't do that: hyperv_cleanup() is called on kexec/kdump and
we're trying to do the bare minimum to allow next kernel to boot. Doing
excessive work here will likely lead to consequent problems (we're
already crashing the case it's kdump!).
