This series enables Linux guests running on Hyper-V on ARM64
hardware. New ARM64-specific code in arch/arm64/hyperv initializes
Hyper-V and its hypercall mechanism.  Existing architecture
independent drivers for Hyper-V's VMbus and synthetic devices just
work when built for ARM64. Hyper-V code is built and included in
the image and modules only if CONFIG_HYPERV is enabled.

The five patches are organized as follows:

1) Add definitions and functions for making Hyper-V hypercalls
   and getting/setting virtual processor registers provided by
   Hyper-V

2) Add the function needed by the arch independent VMbus driver
   for reporting a panic to Hyper-V.

3) Add Hyper-V initialization code and utility functions that
   report Hyper-v status.

4) Export screen_info so it may be used by the Hyper-V frame buffer
   driver built as a module. It is already exported for x86,
   powerpc, and alpha architectures.

5) Make CONFIG_HYPERV selectable on ARM64 in addition to x86/x64.

Hyper-V on ARM64 runs with a 4 Kbyte page size, but allows guests
with 4K/16K/64K page size. Linux guests with this patch series
work with all three supported ARM64 page sizes.

The Hyper-V vPCI driver at drivers/pci/host/pci-hyperv.c has
x86/x64-specific code and is not being built for ARM64. Enabling
Hyper-V vPCI devices on ARM64 is in progress via a separate set
of patches.

This patch set is based on the linux-next20210720 code tree.

Changes in v11:
* Drop the previous Patch 1 as the fixes have already been
  separately accepted upstream.
* Drop the previous Patch 3 for enabling Hyper-V enlightened
  clocks/timers.  Hyper-V is now offering the full ARM64
  architectural Generic Timer in guest VMs, so the existing
  arch_arch_timer.c driver just works. [Mark Rutland, Marc
  Zyngier]

Thanks for doing this. Assuming you fix the issue I mentioned in my
reply to patch #3. FWIW:
