Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: Allocate interrupt and monitor pages aligned to
system page boundary

There are use cases that interrupt and monitor pages are mapped to user-mode through UIO, so they need to be system page aligned. Some Hyper-V allocation APIs introduced earlier broke those requirements.

Fix this by using page allocation functions directly for interrupt and monitor pages.
