You seem to be only doing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for
hv_call_deposit_pages() and hv_call_create_vp() but not for
hv_call_add_logical_proc() - is this intended? Also, I don't see
hv_call_create_vp()/hv_call_add_logical_proc() usage outside of
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c so maybe we don't need to export them at all?
hv_call_deposit_pages and hv_call_create_vp will be needed by /dev/mshv,
which can be built as a module.
I'd suggest to move EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to the series adding '/dev/mshv'
then. Dangling exported symbols with no users tend to be removed. No
strong opinion, just a suggestion.
Sure. This is now done in my v3.

Wei.
