Hyper-V doesn't provide irq remapping for IO-APIC. To enable x2apic,
set x2apic destination mode to physcial mode when x2apic is available
and Hyper-V IOMMU driver makes sure cpus assigned with IO-APIC irqs have
8-bit APIC id.

Hyper-V emulation of the PIT has a quirk such that the normal PIT shutdown
path doesn't work, because clearing the counter register restarts the
timer.

Disable the counter clearing on PIT shutdown.

<content type='text'>
The Hyper-V feature and hint flags in hyperv-tlfs.h are all defined
with the string "X64" in the name.  Some of these flags are indeed
x86/x64 specific, but others are not.  For the ones that are used
in architecture independent Hyper-V driver code, or will be used in
the upcoming support for Hyper-V for ARM64, this patch removes the
"X64" from the name.

This patch changes the flags that are currently known to be
used on multiple architectures. Hyper-V for ARM64 is still a
work-in-progress and the Top Level Functional Spec (TLFS) has not
been separated into x86/x64 and ARM64 areas.  So additional flags
may need to be updated later.

This patch only changes symbol names.  There are no functional
changes.

Add standard interrupt handler annotations to
hyperv_vector_handler(). This does not fix any observed
bug, but avoids potential removal of the code by link
time optimization and makes it consistent with
hv_stimer0_vector_handler in the same source file.

<content type='text'>
hyperv.h is not part of uapi, there are no (known) users outside of kernel.
We are making changes to this file to match current Hyper-V Hypervisor
Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS, see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs)
and we don't want to maintain backwards compatibility.

Move the file renaming to hyperv-tlfs.h to avoid confusing it with
mshyperv.h. In future, all definitions from TLFS should go to it and
all kernel objects should go to mshyperv.h or include/linux/hyperv.h.

<pre>
hyperv.h is not part of uapi, there are no (known) users outside of kernel.
We are making changes to this file to match current Hyper-V Hypervisor
Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS, see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs)
and we don't want to maintain backwards compatibility.

Move the file renaming to hyperv-tlfs.h to avoid confusing it with
mshyperv.h. In future, all definitions from TLFS should go to it and
all kernel objects should go to mshyperv.h or include/linux/hyperv.h.

The 2016 version of Hyper-V offers the option to operate the guest VM
per-vcpu stimer's in Direct Mode, which means the timer interupts on its
own vector rather than queueing a VMbus message. Direct Mode reduces
timer processing overhead in both the hypervisor and the guest, and
avoids having timer interrupts pollute the VMbus interrupt stream for
the synthetic NIC and storage.  This patch enables Direct Mode by
default on stimer0 when running on a version of Hyper-V that supports
it.

In prep for coming support of Hyper-V on ARM64, the arch independent
portion of the code contains calls to routines that will be populated
on ARM64 but are not needed and do nothing on x86.
