Hyper-V context is only needed for guests which use Hyper-V emulation in KVM (e.g. Windows/Hyper-V guests). 'struct kvm_vcpu_hv' is, however, quite big, it accounts for more than 1/4 of the total 'struct kvm_vcpu_arch' which is also quite big already. This all looks like a waste. Allocate 'struct kvm_vcpu_hv' dynamically. This patch does not bring any (intentional) functional change as we still allocate the context unconditionally but it paves the way to doing that only when needed.

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.
