I'm a bit late reviewing this patch, but I have a suggestion. With this
function added, setting hv_scheduler_type and outputting the message
is now in two places:  here and in mshv_retrieve_scheduler_type().

Instead, check for root vs. L1VH in mshv_retrieve_scheduler_type(),
and either call hv_retrieve_scheduler_type(), or force to
HV_SCHEDULER_TYPE_CORE_SMT.  Then the rest of the code in
mshv_retrieve_scheduler_type(), including outputting the message,
just works. That puts all the logic about the scheduler type in one
place.

Then move the call to mshv_retrieve_scheduler_type() directly
into mshv_parent_partition_init() just before

	if (hv_root_partition())
		ret = mshv_root_partition_init(dev);

mshv_l1vh_partition_init() is no longer needed.

Independent of the suggestion, everything else looks good.
