Thanks for this pathch, Mukesh!

Jason raised a question about whether Hyper-V's IRQ remapping file belongs
under drivers/iommu/hyperv/ at all, since unlike Intel/AMD, Hyper-V's IRQ
remapping is not co-mingled with the IOMMU hardware:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260520133807.GS7702@xxxxxxxx/

Though we don't end up moving it elsewhere (the IRQ remapping framework
and its internal header, irq_remapping.h, live under drivers/iommu/, and
all existing backends sit alongside them), it would be good to acknowledge
this in the commit message and explain the rationale,

Any reason why we are removing the CONFIG_HYPERV_IOMMU? You are leaving
CONFIG_HYPERV_IOMMU an orphan configuration now (and also the backward
compatibility issue?).
