Hi all,

Please review this change:

   JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8250598
   webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ysuenaga/JDK-8250598/webrev.00/

When I got hs_err log on Windows, I saw "HyperV virtualization detected" in it in spite of running on host OS.

Hypervisor detector has been introduced in JDK-8219241, but it has some problems as below:

   - Hyper-V is detected on Windows in spite of running on host OS
   - Call CPUID with other than EAX = 40000000h (it is not described in the spec [1])
   - Does not check CPUID hypervisor present bit [1]
   - Does not support x86 (32bit) platform

I've tested this change on submit repo, and have checked output from VM.info jcmd on following environment:

   - Windows x64 (host)
   - Windows x64 (Hyper-V guest)
   - Fedora32 x64 (Hyper-V guest)
   - 32 bit JDK on Fedora32 x64 (Hyper-V guest)


Thanks,

Yasumasa
