[PATCH] hv: vmbus_drv: detect hyperv through x86_hyper

From: Jason Wang
Date: Fri Aug 31 2012 - 01:39:38 EST


There are two reasons we need to use x86_hyper instead of
query_hypervisor_presence():

- Not only hyperv but also other hypervisors such as kvm would set
X86_FEATURE_HYTPERVISOR, so query_hypervisor_presence() will return true even
in kvm. This may cause extra delay of 5 seconds before failing the probing in
kvm guest.
- The hypervisor has been detected in init_hypervisor(), so no need to do the
work again.
