Hi Dave
Thanks for your review. Good suggestion! Will update in the next
verison.

Yes, this looks better. Will update.

X86_FEATURE_APIC is still set. Hyper-V provides parav-virtualized local
apic interface to replace APIC page opeartion. In the SEV-SNP guest.

In current kernel code, ioapic support still may be disabled when there
is no MP table or ACPI MADT configuration. Please see
__apic_intr_mode_select() and disable_smp() for detial where ioapic is
disabled.

Agree. Will update.

This EN_SEV_SNP_PROCESSOR_INFO_ADDR is specified by hypervisor tool.
Hypervisor populates mem and cpu info to the page in the memory and
kernel may access it via adding PHYS_OFFSET_OFFSET directly.

Agree. There should be a comment to describe that there is no virtual
Bios in the guest and hypervisor boots Linux kernel directly. So kernel
needs to populdate e820 tables which should be prepared by virtual Bios.

No, there is no virtual EFI firmware inside VM and so kernel gets mem
and vcpu info directly from Hyper-V.
