RE: [PATCH v2] x86/hyperv: Mark hv_ghcb_terminate() as noreturn

Just curious:  Should the actual function also be updated with
__noreturn?   In similar situations, such as snp_abort(), the
__noreturn attribute is both places.   I don't know what the 
guidance is on this question.

In any case, thanks for doing this cleanup!
