I've sent out a new version, but didn't change
hv_get_vp_register_output except to make
it hv_get_vp_registers_output. The C compiler
wont' let me put a variable size array as the
only field in the struct.

The additional padding is not a mistake. Hyper-V wants
the register value to be aligned to 128 bits even though
it is described in the TLFS document as two 64 bit fields.
