The caller must ensure that hypercall arguments are aligned to
4 Kbytes, and no larger than 4 Kbytes, since that's the page size
used by Hyper-V regardless of the guest page size. A per-CPU
4 Kbyte memory area (hyperv_pcpu_input_arg) meeting these
requirements is pre-allocated that callers can use for this purpose.
On the x86 side there's also a similar hyperv_pcpu_output_arg,
but there are no use cases for it on ARM64.
