[PATCH 1/1] x86/platform/hyperv: When on Hyper-v use NULL legacy PIC

["K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@microsoft.com>]

Use the NULL legacy PIC when on Hyper-V. With this change we can support kexec
even when booting on EFI firmware. This patch has been tested on both EFI as
well as non-EFI firmware stacks on Hyper-V.

This patch is required to support kexec on EFI firmware on Hyper-V. Please
apply.
