docs/system: Add recommendations to Hyper-V enlightenments doc
While hyperv.rst already has all currently implemented Hyper-V enlightenments documented, it may be unclear what is the recommended set to achieve the best result. Add the corresponding section to the doc.

Recommendations
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve the best performance of Windows and Hyper-V guests and unless there
|
||||
are any specific requirements (e.g. migration to older QEMU/KVM versions,
|
||||
emulating specific Hyper-V version, ...), it is recommended to enable all
|
||||
currently implemented Hyper-V enlightenments with the following exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``hv-syndbg``, ``hv-passthrough``, ``hv-enforce-cpuid`` should not be enabled
|
||||
in production configurations as these are debugging/development features.
|
||||
- ``hv-reset`` can be avoided as modern Hyper-V versions don't expose it.
|
||||
- ``hv-evmcs`` can (and should) be enabled on Intel CPUs only. While the feature
|
||||
is only used in nested configurations (Hyper-V, WSL2), enabling it for regular
|
||||
Windows guests should not have any negative effects.
|
||||
- ``hv-no-nonarch-coresharing`` must only be enabled if vCPUs are properly pinned
|
||||
so no non-architectural core sharing is possible.
|
||||
- ``hv-vendor-id``, ``hv-version-id-build``, ``hv-version-id-major``,
|
||||
``hv-version-id-minor``, ``hv-version-id-spack``, ``hv-version-id-sbranch``,
|
||||
``hv-version-id-snumber`` can be left unchanged, guests are not supposed to
|
||||
behave differently when different Hyper-V version is presented to them.
|
||||
- ``hv-crash`` must only be enabled if the crash information is consumed via
|
||||
QAPI by higher levels of the virtualization stack. Enabling this feature
|
||||
effectively prevents Windows from creating dumps upon crashes.
|
||||
- ``hv-reenlightenment`` can only be used on hardware which supports TSC
|
||||
scaling or when guest migration is not needed.
|
||||
- ``hv-spinlocks`` should be set to e.g. 0xfff when host CPUs are overcommited
|
||||
(meaning there are other scheduled tasks or guests) and can be left unchanged
|
||||
from the default value (0xffffffff) otherwise.
|
||||
- ``hv-avic``/``hv-apicv`` should not be enabled if the hardware does not
|
||||
support APIC virtualization (Intel APICv, AMD AVIC).
