In Hyper-V Overview documentation, remove the out-of-date reference
to explicitly reassigning VMBus channel interrupts before taking a
guest CPU offline. Instead, reference the VMBus documentation, which
is already up-to-date on this topic.

Support for running Linux guests on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 Hyper-V
hosts and Windows 8/8.1 hosts has been removed, which includes removing
support for operating Hyper-V synthetic timers in other than Direct Mode.
Update the documentation to reflect these removals.

ARM64 Hyper-V guests do not run the VMBus kexec cleanup before
secondary CPUs are stopped. Consequently, the old VMBus connection
and SynIC state remain active when the kexec kernel starts.
Run the VMBus kexec handler from the existing VMBus syscore shutdown
callback. syscore_shutdown() runs after device shutdown and before
machine shutdown, while all CPUs needed by the SynIC CPU hotplug
teardown are still available. Guard the callback with
kexec_is_in_progress() so normal restart, halt, and poweroff paths are
unchanged.
Use the same path on x86 and remove the architecture-specific handler
pointer and the weak setup/remove interfaces. VMBus teardown now
precedes hv_stimer_global_cleanup() on x86.
The new x86 ordering relies on commit be0cfab740e5 ("clocksource:
hyper-v: Remove support for stimer interrupts in message mode"), which
removed the synthetic timer's dependency on VMBus message delivery.
Older kernels that retain message-mode stimer interrupts must preserve
the existing x86 ordering and therefore require an ARM64-specific
backport.
Document the VMBus cleanup path and its position in shutdown ordering.

The functions for sending VMBus packets have changed.
vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() can target multiple ranges, and
vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer() has been removed. vmbus_sendpacket_getid()
has been added. Update the documentation accordingly.

Starting in the 6.15 kernel, VMBus interrupts are automatically
assigned away from a CPU that is being taken offline. Add documentation
describing this case.
Also add details of Hyper-V behavior when the primary channel of
a VMBus device is closed as the result of unbinding the device's
driver. This behavior has not changed, but it was not previously
documented.

interrupt controller (synic) that Hyper-V provides to guest VMs, nor how
VMBus or timer interrupts are handled. Add text describing the synic and
