Subject: [PATCH v3 00/17] Introducing Linux root partition support for Microsoft Hypervisor

Hi all

Here we propose this patch series to make Linux run as the root partition [0]
on Microsoft Hypervisor [1]. There will be a subsequent patch series to provide a
device node (/dev/mshv) such that userspace programs can create and run virtual
machines. We've also ported Cloud Hypervisor [3] over and have been able to
boot a Linux guest with Virtio devices since late July.

Being an RFC sereis, this implements only the absolutely necessary
components to get things running.  I will break down this series a bit.

A large portion of this series consists of patches that augment hyperv-tlfs.h.
They should be rather uncontroversial and can be applied right away.

A few key things other than the changes to hyperv-tlfs.h:

1. Linux needs to setup existing Hyper-V facilities differently.
2. Linux needs to make a few hypercalls to bring up APs.
3. Interrupts are remapped by IOMMU, which is controlled by the hypervisor.
   Linux needs to make hypercalls to map and unmap interrupts. This is
   done by introducing a new MSI irqdomain and new irqchips.

This series is now based on 5.10-rc1. And thanks to tglx's overhaul of
the MSI code, our implementation of the MSI irq domain is shorter.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Wei.

Changes since v2:
1. Address more comments from Vitaly.
2. Fix and test 32bit build.

Changes since v1:
1. Simplify MSI IRQ domain implementation.
2. Address Vitaly's comments.

Wei Liu (17):
