This work is divided into two steps. The first is to add the support of acrn-guest under arch/x86.
The second is to add one driver that allows the acrn-guest to communicate with the acrn-hypervisor.
As the second part has the dependency on the first part, we hope that the acrn-guest is added firstly and the
required API is also added.

Sure. It will be updated.

Acrn_hv_callback_vector is defined in arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S, which will be used as
the parameter of alloc_intr_gate

Acrn_hv_vector_handler is the real ISR handler, which is defined in acrn.c.

OK. The include order will be updated in next version.

Sure. The extra newline will be removed.

I will remove the confusing comment.
In fact this acrn_intr_handle is similar to the vmbus_handler in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c

Understand it.
Is it reasonable that the above two functions are added in the driver patch set?
