Some golang applications are getting random failures with the linux-azure
kernel. The failures range from some unexpected SIGBUS or SIGSEGV errors to
internal memory allocation failures in the golang runtime.

Bisecting linux-azure shows the problem is caused by the changes that added
support for remote TLB flush via Hyper-V hypercalls. And removing this feature
causes the problem to not happen anymore.

We are reverting those changes until a proper fix is available.

    flush"
