Hyper-V initialization has historically been done using the callbacks
that exist in the x86 initialization paths, rather than adding explicit
Hyper-V init calls. As noted above, the full Hyper-V init is done on
the apic_post_init callback via late_time_init(). Conceivably we could
add an explicit call to do the Hyper-V init, but I think there's still a
problem in putting that Hyper-V init prior to the current location of
mem_encrypt_init(). I'd have to go check the history, but I think the
Hyper-V init needs to happen after the APIC is initialized.
It seems like moving mem_encrypt_init() slightly later is the cleaner
long-term solution. Are you aware of a likely problem arising in the
future with moving mem_encrypt_init()?
