Historically, callbacks like Sean proposed default to NULL and do nothing
unless they are explicitly set.  The Hyper-V vTOM code would set the callback.
Is that not sufficient?  Or in the two places where the callback would
be made, do you want to bracket with a test for being in a Hyper-V vTOM
VM?  If so, then we're back to needing something like CC_ATTR_PARAVISOR
on which to gate the callbacks.

Or do you mean something else entirely?
