[PATCH hyperv-next v6 08/17] Drivers: hv: Post messages through the confidential VMBus if available

From: Roman Kisel
Date: Fri Oct 03 2025 - 18:28:57 EST


When the confidential VMBus is available, the guest should post
messages to the paravisor.

Update hv_post_message() to post messages to the paravisor rather than
through GHCB or TD calls.
