Re: [PATCH v4 14/15] asm-generic: hyperv: Use new Hyper-V headers conditionally.

Hi Nuno,
I understand the requirement to have
undocumented/non-standard/non-TLFS-published information in the HDK
headers, however, the current state of this patch is that for any
other code that's not in the kernel today, or in this upcoming driver,
the hyperv-tlfs definitions are incomplete, because some *documented*
TLFS fields are only in HDK headers. Similarly, it is also impossible
to only use the HDK headers for other use cases, because some basic
documented, standard defines only exist in hyperv-tlfs. So there is no
"logical" relationship between the two -- HDK headers are not _just_
undocumented information, but also documented information, but also
not complete documented information.
Would you consider:
1) Updating hyperv-tlfs with all newly documented TLFS fields that are
in the HDK headers?
OR
2) Updating the new HDK headers you're adding here to also include
previously-documented information from hyperv-tlfs? This way, someone
can include the HDK headers and get everything they need
OR
3) Truly making hypertv-tlfs the "documented" header, and then
removing any duplication from HDK so that it remains the
"undocumented" header file. In this manner, one would include
hyperv-tlfs to use the stable ABI, and they would include HDK (which
would include hyperv-tlfs) to use the unstable+stable ABI.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
