[RFC PATCH v2 7/7] Drivers: hv: Allocate persistent pages for root partition

[Stanislav Kinsburskii]

Deposited pages are owned by the hypervisor. Accessing them can trigger a
kernel panic due to a general protection fault.

This patch ensures that pages for the root partition are allocated from the
persistent memory pool. This allocation guarantees stability post-kexec,
protecting hypervisor-deposited pages from unintended reuse by the new
kernel.
