Move mshv_vtl_configure_reg_page() implementation from
drivers/hv/mshv_vtl_main.c to arch-specific files:
- arch/x86/hyperv/hv_vtl.c: full implementation with register page setup
- arch/arm64/hyperv/hv_vtl.c: stub implementation (unsupported)
Move common type definitions to include/asm-generic/mshyperv.h:
- struct mshv_vtl_per_cpu
- union hv_synic_overlay_page_msr
Move hv_call_get_vp_registers() and hv_call_set_vp_registers()
declarations to include/asm-generic/mshyperv.h since these functions
are used by multiple modules.
While at it, remove the unnecessary stub implementations in #else
case for mshv_vtl_return* functions in arch/x86/include/asm/mshyperv.h.
Seems like this patch is doing multiple things. The reg page configuration
changes are more substantial and should probably be in a patch by
themselves. The other changes are more trivial and maybe are OK
grouped into a single patch, but you could also consider breaking them
out.
I will split this patch into 3 patches.
This is essential for adding support for ARM64 in MSHV_VTL.

I think this declaration could be added in asm-generic/mshyperv.h so that it
is shared by x86 and arm64. That also obviates the need for the forward
ref to struct mshv_vtl_per_cpu that you've added here.
Acked.

Same as for arm64. Add a shared declaration in asm-generic/mshyperv.h.

As Sashiko AI noted, it doesn't work to use the global mshv_has_reg_page
to indicate the success of configuring the reg page, which is a per-cpu
operation. But this bug existed before this patch set, so maybe it should
be fixed as a preliminary patch.
Acked. Will address them in a separate series.

Sashiko AI noted another existing bug in mshv_vtl_init(), which is that
the error path does kfree(mem_dev) when it should do
put_device(mem_dev). See the comment in the header of
device_initialize().
To avoid this series bloating up, I am thinking of taking up these fixes
in a separate series.
