Borislav Petkov 6276a074c6 x86: Make Linux guest support optional
Put all config options needed to run Linux as a guest behind a
CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST menu so that they don't get built-in by default
but be selectable by the user. Also, make all units which depend on
x86_hyper, depend on this new symbol so that compilation doesn't fail
when CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST is disabled but those units assume its
presence.

Sort options in the new HYPERVISOR_GUEST menu, adapt config text and
drop redundant select.

H. Peter Anvin cb20e5f2c8 x86, hyperv: HYPERV depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC
In order to compile in the special Hyper-V interrupt vector, we need
infrastructure in arch/x86/apic/apic.c.  At least for now, simply
require CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC in order to enable CONFIG_HYPERV.

K. Y. Srinivasan 9aa8b50b2b Drivers: hv: Add Hyper-V balloon driver
Add the basic balloon driver. Windows hosts dynamically manage the guest
memory allocation via a combination memory hot add and ballooning. Memory
hot add is used to grow the guest memory upto the maximum memory that can be
allocatted to the guest. Ballooning is used to both shrink as well as expand
up to the max memory. Supporting hot add needs additional support from the
host. We will support hot add when this support is available. For now,
by setting the VM startup memory to the VM  max memory, we can use
ballooning alone to dynamically manage memory allocation amongst
competing guests on a given host.

Bart Van Assche 124a6b4c4d hv: Add Kconfig menu entry
Most of the drivers/*/Kconfig files define a menu entry. Define
a menu item for hv too such that it becomes uniform with e.g.
virtio for at least "make xconfig" and "make menuconfig" users.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 46a9719136 Staging: hv: move hyperv code out of staging directory
After many years wandering the desert, it is finally time for the
Microsoft HyperV code to move out of the staging directory.  Or at least
the core hyperv bus code, and the utility driver, the rest still have
some review to get through by the various subsystem maintainers.
