A Hyper-V host provides its guest VMs with entropy in a custom ACPI
table named "OEM0". The entropy bits are updated each time Hyper-V
boots the VM, and are suitable for seeding the Linux guest random
number generator (rng). See a brief description of OEM0 in [1].
Generation 2 VMs on Hyper-V use UEFI to boot. Existing EFI code in
Linux seeds the rng with entropy bits from the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL.
Via this path, the rng is seeded very early during boot with good
entropy. The ACPI OEM0 table provided in such VMs is an additional
source of entropy.
Generation 1 VMs on Hyper-V boot from BIOS. For these VMs, Linux
doesn't currently get any entropy from the Hyper-V host. While this
is not fundamentally broken because Linux can generate its own entropy,
using the Hyper-V host provided entropy would get the rng off to a
better start and would do so earlier in the boot process.
Improve the rng seeding for Generation 1 VMs by having Hyper-V specific
code in Linux take advantage of the OEM0 table to seed the rng. For
Generation 2 VMs, use the OEM0 table to provide additional entropy
beyond the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. Because the OEM0 table is custom to
Hyper-V, parse it directly in the Hyper-V code in the Linux kernel
and use add_bootloader_randomness() to add it to the rng. Once the
entropy bits are read from OEM0, zero them out in the table so
they don't appear in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/OEM0 in the running
VM. The zero'ing is done out of an abundance of caution to avoid
potential security risks to the rng. Also set the OEM0 data length
to zero so a kexec or other subsequent use of the table won't try
to use the zero'ed bits.

Rename HV_REGISTER_GUEST_OSID to HV_REGISTER_GUEST_OS_ID. This matches
the existing HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_OS_ID.
Rename HV_REGISTER_CRASH_* to HV_REGISTER_GUEST_CRASH_*. Including
GUEST_ is consistent with other #defines such as
HV_FEATURE_GUEST_CRASH_MSR_AVAILABLE. The new names also match the TLFS
document more accurately, i.e. HvRegisterGuestCrash*.

Introduce x86_64 and arm64 functions to get the hypervisor version
information and store it in a structure for simpler parsing.
Use the new function to get and parse the version at boot time. While at
it, move the printing code to hv_common_init() so it is not duplicated.

State CPUHP_AP_HYPERV_ONLINE has been introduced to correctly sequence the
initialization of hyperv_pcpu_input_arg. Use this new state for Hyper-V
initialization so that hyperv_pcpu_input_arg is allocated early enough.

The generate_guest_id function is more suitable for use after the
following modifications.
1. The return value of the function is modified to u64.
2. Remove the d_info1 and d_info2 parameters from the function, keep the
u64 type kernel_version parameter.
3. Rename the function to make it clearly a Hyper-V related function,
and modify it to hv_generate_guest_id.
