+=======================
+Hyper-V specification allows synthetic timer operation in two modes: "classic",
+when expiration event is delivered as SynIC message and "direct", when the event
+is delivered via normal interrupt. It is known that nested Hyper-V can only
+use synthetic timers in direct mode and thus 'hv-stimer-direct' needs to be
+enabled.

Hyper-V on KVM can only use Synthetic timers with Direct Mode (opting for an interrupt instead of VMBus message). This new capability is only announced in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID.
