Subject: [PATCH v2 02/15] Drivers: hv: Move hv_vp_assist_page to common files

From: Naman Jain <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 12:41:52 +0000

Move the logic to initialize and export hv_vp_assist_page from x86
architecture code to Hyper-V common code to allow it to be used for
upcoming arm64 support in MSHV_VTL driver.
Note: This change also improves error handling - if VP assist page
allocation fails, hyperv_init() now returns early instead of
continuing with partial initialization.
