Thanks,

(I don't really like this IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HYPERV) spreading across KVM
but keeping stuff like this ms_hyperv structure defined when
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HYPERV) is also ugly. It may make sense to define
helpers similar to kvm_para_has_feature() and define them to 'false'
when Hyper-V support code is compiled out. I'll look into this option
later, this patch should be taken to fix the immediate issue).
