The current method for signaling the compatibility of a Hyper-V host with MSIs featuring 15-bit APIC IDs relies on a synthetic cpuid leaf. However, for higher VTLs, this leaf is not reported, due to the absence of an IO-APIC. As an alternative, assume that when running at a high VTL, the host supports 15-bit APIC IDs. This assumption is safe, as Hyper-V does not employ any architectural MSIs at higher VTLs This unblocks startup of VTL2 environments with more than 256 CPUs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
