[PATCH 1/4] Add a connector Index to support HyperV KVP functionality

[Ky Srinivasan]

From 5b7c16baf2f310a1e7e119c3df8fd976ca0e2f57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Added a connector index to support key value/pair (KVP) functionality
for Linux guests hosted on a HyperV platform. All KVP related
data gathering will be done in a user-level daemon. The kernel 
component of KVP communicates with the data gathering daemon using this
connector index.

Please make your subject a bit more descriptive, for this one, it would
be:
	Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Connector: add index to support HyperV

And what is a "KVP"?

Why is this in the body of your message?
