[PATCH v2] x86/hyperv: add noop functions to x86_init mpparse functions

From: Saurabh Sengar
Date: Tue Jun 13 2023 - 03:13:25 EST


In certain configurations, VTL0 and VTL2 can share the same VM
partition and hence share the same memory address space. In such
systems VTL2 has visibility of all of the VTL0 memory space.

When CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE is enabled for VTL2, the kernel performs
a scan of low memory to search for MP tables. However, in systems
where VTL0 controls the low memory and may contain valid tables
specific to VTL0, this scanning process can lead to confusion
within the VTL2 kernel.

In !ACPI system, there is no way to disable CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE
hence add the noop function instead.
