This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    drivers: hv: Don't OOPS when you cannot init vmbus

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to Linus's tree in the next big merge window after
the next kernel is released.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: drivers: hv: Don't OOPS when you cannot init vmbus

The hv vmbus driver was causing an OOPS since it was trying to register drivers
on top of the bus even if initialization of the bus has failed for some
reason (such as the odd chance someone would run a hv enabled kernel in a
non-hv environment).
