I don't think you need a static key.

There are basically three choices:
1. Use an existing X86_FEATURE bit. I think there's already one for
when you are running under a hypervisor. It's not super precise,
but it's better than what you have.
2. Define a new X86_FEATURE bit for when you are running under
Hyper-V.
3. Define a new X86_FEATURE bit specifically for Hyper-V isolation VM
support. This particular feature might be a little uncommon to
deserve its own bit.

I'd probably just do #2.
