RE: [PATCH 1/2] x86: Set up resources correctly on Hyper-V Generation 2

I don't think we need to gate this based on the platform. If you look at the differences between what is done:

- The printk is no longer called. That's fine; we already did the printk modified in patch 2/2. The user is aware there machine doesn't have PCI :-)

- We set the cacheline size. That's copying a value from the cpuinfo to a global __read_mostly variable and emitting a printk. No big deal.

- In pcibios_resource_survey, we iterate over three empty lists, call e820_reserve_resources_late() (which is what we want!) and call ioapic_insert_resources() (which I rather think we want too)

In short, not calling these functions is a bug. We just haven't noticed before now because PCI is so omnipresent.

So shouldn't this be gated on whether the platform is HyperV?
