Thanks Michael - I don't think it would be an issue since the __weak version
would be defined in mshyperv.c itself, replacing the function pointer.

However, I went and tested this __weak version again with CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT=m
and it does not actually work. Everything seems ok at first (it compiles,
can insert the module), but upon starting a guest, the interrupts don't get
delivered to the root (or rather, they don't get handled by mshv_hander()).

This seems to match with what the ld docs say - There's an option
LD_DYNAMIC_LINK to allow __weak symbols to be overridden by the dynamic
linker, but this is not enabled in the kernel.

So I will stick with the current implementation.

Nuno
