Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush,
this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.
Implementation details: to do HvFlushVirtualAddress{Space,List} hypercalls
we need to put the input somewhere in memory and we don't really want to
have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas
on boot.
pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate
hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().
It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is
even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the
host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The
hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
