[PATCH 3/6] uio_hv_generic: Enable interrupt for low speed VMBus devices

Hyper-V is adding some "specialty" synthetic devices. Instead of writing
new kernel-level VMBus drivers for these devices, the devices will be
presented to user space via this existing Hyper-V generic UIO driver, so
that a user space driver can handle the device. Since these new synthetic
devices are low speed devices, they don't support monitor bits and we must
use vmbus_setevent() to enable interrupts from the host.
