The old code only showed "PLT" when x86_platform_ipi_callback was set,
but with ISS() this is now unconditional.

Is this intentional?

HYPERV_REENLIGHTMENT doesn't match the enum (HYPERV_REENLIGHTENMENT).
This should break the build with CONFIG_HYPERV=y. There is also a same
typo in text description.

This drops the prec-based alignment for ERR and MIS.
