[PATCH 1/1] Staging: hv: vmbus: Support building the vmbus driver as part of the kernel

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Modify the way we initialize the vmbus driver so that all the hyper-v drivers
can be linked with the kernel and still ensure that the vmbus driver
is fully initialized before the drivers that depend upon the vmbus 
driver attempt to initialize.

Any reason you sent this out twice?  Was there a difference between the
two versions that I missed?

No difference. It is the mail server acting up. After I sent the mail initially,
it did not go out for several hours. I sent it again and after several hours, both were
sent out. Sorry for the confusion; you can ignore one of them.
