[PATCH v2 8/8] KVM: SVM: Assert that Hyper-V's HV_SVM_EXITCODE_ENL == SVM_EXIT_SW

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Tue Dec 30 2025 - 16:14:04 EST


Add a build-time assertiont that Hyper-V's "enlightened" exit code is that,
same as the AMD-defined "Reserved for Host" exit code, mostly to help
readers connect the dots and understand why synthesizing a software-defined
exit code is safe/ok.
