SubjectRE: [PATCH 10/13] x86/hyper-v: Add HvFlushGuestAddressList hypercall support

I'm really concerned about defining the Hyper-V function to flush
guest mappings in terms of a KVM struct definition. Your patch puts
this function in arch/x86/hyperv/nested.c. I haven't investigated all
the details, but on its face this approach seems like it would cause
trouble in the long run, and it doesn't support the case of a
hypervisor other than KVM running at L1.

I know that KVM code has taken a dependency on Hyper-V types and
code, but that's because KVM is emulating a lot of Hyper-V functionality
and it's taking advantage of Hyper-V enlightenments. Is there a top
level reason I haven't thought of for Hyper-V code to take a
dependency on KVM definitions? I would think we want Hyper-V
code to be generic, using Hyper-V data structure definitions. Then in
keeping with what's already been done, KVM code would use those
definitions where it needs to make calls to Hyper-V code.

Per the previous comment, if this loop really needs to walk a KVM
data structure, look for a different way to organize things so that
the handling of KVM-specific data structures is in code that’s part
of KVM, rather than in Hyper-V code.
