Can we leave the device hyperv in GENERIC? Since atomic ops will have significant cost if hyperv drivers are loaded as modules. We can remove the device hyperv from GENERIC after atomic ops only have inlined version on amd64 (like other archs)

Don't remove hyperv from GENERIC. Add boot loader logic only.
