> Final version of the Hyper-V native bus (VMBus)
> and network device (netvsc) drivers. This virtual device
> is used in Microsoft Hyper-V in Windows 10, Windows Server 2016
> and Azure. Most of this code was extracted from FreeBSD and some of
> this is from earlier code donated by Brocade.
> 
> Only Linux is supported at present, but the code is split
> to allow future FreeBSD and Windows support.
> 
> This version works with upstream kernel (4.16) but in that
> mode only a single queue is supported. With additional
> patches that are pending for 5.0 kernel, multi-queue
> support works as well.

> Device binding is best done via driverctl; this required some
> additional fixes to kernel and driverctl to work correctly.
> Linux kernel vmbus support needed to support sysfs driver_override
> and driverctl needed to handle non-PCI bus from udev.
