Since hv_vtl_early_init() doesn't do anything on arm64, is the above
and the empty implementation of hv_vtl_early_init() really needed?
I thought maybe a subsequent patch in this series would populate
hv_vtl_early_init() to do something, but I didn't see such. I realize
the functions hv_vtl_init_platform() and hv_vtl_early_init() parallel
equivalent functions on x86, but I'd say drop hv_vtl_early_init() on
arm64 if it isn't needed.

Note too that the naming on the x86 side is arguably a bit messed
up. hv_vtl_init_platform() runs *before* hv_vtl_early_init(). But
typically in the Linux kernel, functions with "early init" in the name
run very early in boot, and that's not the case here. hv_vtl_init_platform()
is actually the function that runs very early in boot, but its name is
set up to parallel ms_hyperv_init_platform(), which calls it. On the
x86 side, I'd would argue for renaming hv_vtl_init_platform() to
hv_vtl_early_init(), and then hv_vtl_early_init() becomes hv_vtl_init().
But that's probably a separate patch. Here on arm64, perhaps all
you need is hv_vtl_init().
