This isn't the correct variable type to be using here. Union
hv_x64_msr_hypercall_contents is specifically for HV_X64_MSR_HYPERCALL.
It also happens to be correct for HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE, but the
layout of the two MSRs could diverge in the future. Instead of using this union,
I would suggest just reading into a u64, and then mask as needed. The code in
the non-root-partition branch of the 'if' statement is similarly open coding
the needed shifting/masking to construct the value to write.

Or you could define another union specifically for the VP Assist page MSR.
I'm OK with either approach.
