As the only usage of this function looks like

if (!(hv_query_ext_cap() & HV_EXT_CAPABILITY_MEMORY_COLD_DISCARD_HINT))

I would've change the interface to

bool hv_query_ext_cap(u64 cap)

so the usage would look like

if (!(hv_query_ext_cap(HV_EXT_CAPABILITY_MEMORY_COLD_DISCARD_HINT))
...

HYPERV_CPUID_FEATURES(0x40000003) EAX and EBX correspond to Partition
Privilege Flags (TLFS), I'd suggest to take the opportunity and rename
this to something like 'privilege flags low=0x%x high=0x%x'.

Also, I don't quite like 'ms_hyperv.b_features' as I'll always have to
look at what it's being assigned to understand what it holds. I'd even
suggest to rename ms_hyperv.features to ms_hyperv.priv_low and
ms_hyperv.b_features tp ms_hyperv.priv_high. Or maybe even better, pack
them to the same 'u64 ms_hyperv.privileges'.

Why is largepage always '1'?

What is '9'? Could you please define it through PAGE_*/HPAGE_* macro?

Nit: you could've just used

Why? The hyperv-balloon driver itself may still be functional and you
already set dm_device.pr_dev_info.report to NULL.

There is a comment before this structure:

/* HvFlushGuestPhysicalAddressList hypercall */

which is now obsolete.

What is this unnamed member? Another 'reserved', 'pad'? Let's name it.

Please name this structure in the union.

The name HV_MAX_GPA_PAGE_RANGES sounds too generic and I think this is
specific to the HvExtCallMemoryHeatHint hypercall as other hypercalls
may have a different header length.

Why '[1]' and not '[]'? If it was '[]' you could've used 'sizeof(struct
hv_memory_hint)' in HV_MAX_GPA_PAGE_RANGES macro definition instead of
'sizeof(u64)'.
