> Hyper-V VTL clears x86_platform.realmode_{init(), reserve()} in
> hv_vtl_platform_init() whereas it sets real_mode_header later in
> hv_vtl_early_init(). There is no need to deal with the real mode memory
> in two places: x86_platform.realmode_init() is invoked much later via an
> early_initcall.

> Set real_mode_header in hv_vtl_init_platform() to keep all code dealing
