+3.20. hv-version-id-{build,major,minor,spack,sbranch,snumber}
+=============================================================
+This changes Hyper-V version identification in CPUID 0x40000002.EAX-EDX from the
+default (WS2008R2).
+- hv-version-id-build sets 'Build Number' (32 bits)
+- hv-version-id-major sets 'Major Version' (16 bits)
+- hv-version-id-minor sets 'Minor Version' (16 bits)
+- hv-version-id-spack sets 'Service Pack' (32 bits)
+- hv-version-id-sbranch sets 'Service Branch' (8 bits)
+- hv-version-id-snumber sets 'Service Number' (24 bits)
+
+Note: hv-version-id-* are not enlightenments and thus don't enable Hyper-V
+identification when specified without any other enlightenments.
