CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT allows kernels built to run as a normal Hyper-V guest to exclude the root partition code, which is expected to grow significantly over time. This option is a tristate so future driver code can be built as a (m)odule, allowing faster development iteration cycles. If CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT is disabled, don't compile hv_proc.c, and stub hv_root_partition() to return false unconditionally. This allows the compiler to optimize away root partition code blocks since they will be disabled at compile time. In the case of booting as root partition *without* CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT enabled, print a critical error (the kernel will likely crash).

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 reStructuredText 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.
