<title>kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers</title>

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.

There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain

At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

Previously, to detect nested virtualization enlightenment support,
we were using HV_X64_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS_RECOMMENDED feature bit of
HYPERV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EAX CPUID as docuemented in TLFS:
 "Bit 14: Recommend a nested hypervisor using the enlightened VMCS
  interface. Also indicates that additional nested enlightenments
  may be available (see leaf 0x4000000A)".

Enlightened VMCS, however, is an Intel only feature so the above
detection method doesn't work for AMD. So, use the
HYPERV_CPUID_VENDOR_AND_MAX_FUNCTIONS.EAX CPUID information ("The
maximum input value for hypervisor CPUID information.") and this
works for both AMD and Intel.

Microsoft Hypervisor expects the logical processor index to be the same
as CPU's index during logical processor creation. Using cpu_physical_id
confuses hypervisor's scheduler. That causes the root partition not boot
when core scheduler is used.

This patch removes the call to cpu_physical_id and uses the CPU index
directly for bringing up logical processor. This scheme works for both
classic scheduler and core scheduler.

Linux has support for free page reporting now (36e66c554b5c) for
virtualized environment. On Hyper-V when virtually backed VMs are
configured, Hyper-V will advertise cold memory discard capability,
when supported. This patch adds the support to hook into the free
page reporting infrastructure and leverage the Hyper-V cold memory
discard hint hypercall to report/free these pages back to the host.

Fix ~144 single-word typos in arch/x86/ code comments.

Doing this in a single commit should reduce the churn.

<title>clocksource/drivers/hyper-v: Move handling of STIMER0 interrupts</title>

STIMER0 interrupts are most naturally modeled as per-cpu IRQs. But
because x86/x64 doesn't have per-cpu IRQs, the core STIMER0 interrupt
handling machinery is done in code under arch/x86 and Linux IRQs are
not used. Adding support for ARM64 means adding equivalent code
using per-cpu IRQs under arch/arm64.

A better model is to treat per-cpu IRQs as the normal path (which it is
for modern architectures), and the x86/x64 path as the exception. Do this
by incorporating standard Linux per-cpu IRQ allocation into the main
SITMER0 driver code, and bypass it in the x86/x64 exception case. For
x86/x64, special case code is retained under arch/x86, but no STIMER0
interrupt handling code is needed under arch/arm64.

No functional change.
