HyperV detection patch

This is a resend of a patch I had posted a couple of weeks ago. As suggested by Jeremy, I am enclosing a patch that integrates HyperV detection with the current hypervisor detection mechanism in the kernel. A patch for implementing a HyperV clock source based on this patch will be sent out shortly.


From: K. Y. Srinivasan <ksrinivasan at novell.com>
Subject:  HyperV Detection code.
References: None
Patch-mainline:

This patch integrates HyperV detection within the framework currently used by
VmWare. With this patch, we can avoid having to replicate the HyperV detection
code in each of the HyperV specific Linux drivers - MSFT Linux Integration 
Components.
