Subject: [PATCH v4 6/6] x86/hyperv: Fix serial console interrupts for TDX guests

When a TDX guest runs on Hyper-V, the UEFI firmware sets the HW_REDUCED
flag, and consequently ttyS0 interrupts can't work. Fix the issue by
overriding x86_init.acpi.reduced_hw_early_init().

+ * request_irq() -> ... -> irq_to_desc() returns NULL for ttyS0. This happens
+ * because mp_config_acpi_legacy_irqs() sees a nr_legacy_irqs() of 0, so it
+ * doesn't initialize the array 'mp_irqs[]', and later setup_IO_APIC_irqs() ->
+ * find_irq_entry() fails to find the legacy irqs from the array, and hence
+ * doesn't create the necessary irq description info.
+ *
+ * Copy arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c: acpi_generic_reduced_hw_init() but doesn't
+ * change 'legacy_pic', so it keeps its default value 'default_legacy_pic' in
+ * mp_config_acpi_legacy_irqs(), which sees a non-zero nr_legacy_irqs(), and
+ * eventually serial console interrupts can work properly.
