When a root partition running on MSHV is powered off, the default
behavior is to write ACPI registers to power-off. However, this ACPI
write is intercepted by MSHV and will result in a Machine Check
Exception(MCE).
The root partition eventually panics with a trace similar to:
[ 81.306348] reboot: Power down
[ 81.314709] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 0: b2000000c0060001
[ 81.314711] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 3b8cb60a66 PPIN 11d98332458e4ea9
[ 81.314713] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:606a6 TIME 1759339405 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode ffffffff
[ 81.314715] mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii'
[ 81.314716] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Processor context corrupt
[ 81.314717] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal machine check
To correctly shutdown a root partition running on MSHV, sleep state
information has be configured within mshv. Later HVCALL_ENTER_SLEEP_STATE
should be invoked as the last step in the shutdown sequence.
The previous patch configures the sleep state information and this patch
invokes HVCALL_ENTER_SLEEP_STATE to cleanly shutdown the root partition.
