Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Drivers: hv: Remove leftover support for old Hyper-V versions
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 20:05:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023030527.1611-1-mhklinux@outlook.com> (raw)
When removing support for running Linux guests on Windows Server
2008/2008R2 and Windows 7, one area was missed due to the code
comment spelling "2012" incorrectly. Remove that functionality now.
