After staring at this some more I don't think we can do this.
Hypervisor-specific code should not muck with with x86_init.hyper, it's
layering violation. That's what init_hypervisor_platform() is for.
Ok, I see.

So we may have to create another hypervisor_x86 ops structure for Xen
nopv (which I don't find very appealing TBH). Or update
x86_hyper_xen_hvm and return xen_cpuid_base() instead of zero (but then
you'd need to update all these structs from __initconst to _init or some
such). Or something else.

I choose the second. I made below changes, not clear if it's also a layering violation

as use x86_init.hyper as source for memcpy. I choose memcpy instead of updating

functions pointers one-by-one because if x86_hyper_init interface functions extends

in the future we need no changes. Let me know if you prefer updating pointers directly.

This isn't a formal patch for review, just want to get answer of above question.
