Linux code for running as a Hyper-V guest includes special cases for
running on Hyper-V in WS2012/2012R2 and Windows 8/8.1. These versions
were initially released 14 years ago, and official support ended in 2023
(unless a customer has contracted for extended security updates).

If we had a time machine, it would be nice to go back to 2023, stick
some warnings in about this, and see if anyone screams. Could we add
some warnings the next time a Hyper-V host ends support, please?

Also, what will an end user actually see if they boot a kernel with this
series applied on one of those hypervisors? Will it just not boot? Will
it run slowly?
