Yes, you are right. But to me that speaks as much to the linkage
between the informational list and kmsg_dump() being the core
problem. But as I described in my reply to Patch 24, I can live with
the linkage as-is.
FWIW, guests on newer versions of Hyper-V will always register a
kmsg dumper. The flags that are tested to decide whether to
register provide compatibility with older versions of Hyper-V that
don?t support the 4K bytes of notification info.

I agree that the runtime effect of one list vs. the other is nil. The
code works and can stay as you written it.
I was trying to align from a conceptual standpoint. It was a bit
unexpected that one path would be on the hypervisor list, and the
other path effectively on the informational list. When I see
conceptual mismatches like that, I tend to want to understand why,
and if there is something more fundamental that is out-of-whack.
