Arguably, we could've merged this with 'if (!hv_reenlightenment_available())'
above to get a message printed:

diff --git a/arch/x86/hyperv/hv_init.c b/arch/x86/hyperv/hv_init.c

- if (!hv_reenlightenment_available()) {
+ if (!hv_reenlightenment_available() || !hv_vp_index) {
pr_warn("Hyper-V: reenlightenment support is unavailable\n");
return;
}

just to have an indication that something is off.

With or without the change,
