Right, but for whatever reason, on latest version of Ubuntu (21.04)
running on hyperV, I do not see those logs:

azureuser@CentOS:~$ uname -a
Linux CentOS 5.11.0-1009-azure #9-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 17 02:20:07 UTC 2021
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
azureuser@CentOS:~$ dmesg | grep unstable
dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted
azureuser@CentOS:~$ sudo su
root@CentOS:/home/azureuser# dmesg | grep unstable
[ 0.000000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to running on Hyper-V
root@CentOS:/home/azureuser# dmesg | grep sched
[ 0.384656] rcu: RCU calculated value of scheduler-enlistment delay is
25 jiffies.
[ 1.122977] io scheduler mq-deadline registered
root@CentOS:/home/azureuser# exit

Hence, I was trying the patch.
