Nitpick: arch/x86/hyperv/hv_init.c lacks pr_fmt so the message won't get
prefixed with "Hyper-V". I'm not sure 'VTL' abbreviation has the only,
Hyper-V specific meaning. I'd suggest we add 

#define pr_fmt(fmt)  "Hyper-V: " fmt

to the beginning of the file.

Is 'else' branch really needed? 'ms_hyperv' seems to be a statically
allocated global. But instead of doing this, what about putting the
whole get_vtl() funtion under '#if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HYPERV_VTL_MODE))', i.e.:

#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HYPERV_VTL_MODE)
static u8 __init get_vtl(void)
{
        u64 control = HV_HYPERCALL_REP_COMP_1 | HVCALL_GET_VP_REGISTERS;
...
}
#else
static inline get_vtl(void) { return 0; }
#endif

and then we can always do

      ms_hyperv.vtl = get_vtl();

unconditionally?
