Description

This would be useful for resetting vcpu state, but is not currently yet supported on mshv. It exists on windows already though

Research direction

Start by tracing the Hyper-V snapshot restore path and locating the existing Windows support for the hv_scrub hypercall. Check the current mshv support status and determine how vCPU state reset should be verified; done means Hyper-V uses hv_scrub during snapshot restoration without claiming unsupported mshv behavior.
