mshv: Handle insufficient root memory hypervisor statuses
When creating guest partition objects, the hypervisor may fail to
allocate root partition pages and return an insufficient memory status.
In this case, deposit memory using the root partition ID instead.

mshv: Handle insufficient contiguous memory hypervisor status
The HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_CONTIGUOUS_MEMORY status indicates that the
hypervisor lacks sufficient contiguous memory for its internal allocations.
When this status is encountered, allocate and deposit
HV_MAX_CONTIGUOUS_ALLOCATION_PAGES contiguous pages to the hypervisor.
HV_MAX_CONTIGUOUS_ALLOCATION_PAGES is defined in the hypervisor headers, a
deposit of this size will always satisfy the hypervisor's requirements.

Expose this via new MSHV_PT_BIT_SMT_ENABLED_GUEST flag in the UAPI.

mshv: Add support for integrated scheduler
Query the hypervisor for integrated scheduler support and use it if
configured.
Microsoft Hypervisor originally provided two schedulers: root and core. The
root scheduler allows the root partition to schedule guest vCPUs across
physical cores, supporting both time slicing and CPU affinity (e.g., via
cgroups). In contrast, the core scheduler delegates vCPU-to-physical-core
scheduling entirely to the hypervisor.
Direct virtualization introduces a new privileged guest partition type - L1
Virtual Host (L1VH) — which can create child partitions from its own
resources. These child partitions are effectively siblings, scheduled by
the hypervisor's core scheduler. This prevents the L1VH parent from setting
affinity or time slicing for its own processes or guest VPs. While cgroups,
CFS, and cpuset controllers can still be used, their effectiveness is
unpredictable, as the core scheduler swaps vCPUs according to its own logic
(typically round-robin across all allocated physical CPUs). As a result,
the system may appear to "steal" time from the L1VH and its children.
To address this, Microsoft Hypervisor introduces the integrated scheduler.
This allows an L1VH partition to schedule its own vCPUs and those of its
guests across its "physical" cores, effectively emulating root scheduler
behavior within the L1VH, while retaining core scheduler behavior for the
rest of the system.
The integrated scheduler is controlled by the root partition and gated by
the vmm_enable_integrated_scheduler capability bit. If set, the hypervisor
supports the integrated scheduler. The L1VH partition must then check if it
is enabled by querying the corresponding extended partition property. If
this property is true, the L1VH partition must use the root scheduler
logic; otherwise, it must use the core scheduler. This requirement makes
reading VMM capabilities in L1VH partition a requirement too.

Introduce HVCALL_MAP_STATS_PAGE2 which provides a map location (GPFN)
to map the stats to. This hypercall is required for L1VH partitions,
depending on the hypervisor version. This uses the same check as the
state page map location; mshv_use_overlay_gpfn().

old one depending on availability.

x86/hyperv: Fix APIC ID and VP index confusion in hv_snp_boot_ap()
To start an application processor in SNP-isolated guest, a hypercall
is used that takes a virtual processor index. The hv_snp_boot_ap()
function uses that START_VP hypercall but passes as VP index to it
what it receives as a wakeup_secondary_cpu_64 callback: the APIC ID.
As those two aren't generally interchangeable, that may lead to hung
APs if the VP index and the APIC ID don't match up.
Update the parameter names to avoid confusion as to what the parameter
is. Use the APIC ID to the VP index conversion to provide the correct
input to the hypercall.
