Hyper-V shipping with their own calling convention is fine by me. Linux
having to implement multiple calling conventions because the Hyper-V
folks refuse (for undisclosed reason) to adopt the standard isn't fine 
at
all.

HV can perfectly retain its interface for Windows or other things, but
please *at least* implement the standard interface on which all 
existing
operating systems rely.

Thanks,
