Ah, so close, and yet, not quite :(

This should look like:

static const struct hv_vmbus_device_id id_table[] = {
	{
		/* IDE guid */
		.guid = {
			0x32, 0x26, 0x41, 0x32, 0xcb, 0x86, 0xa2, 0x44,
			0x9b, 0x5c, 0x50, 0xd1, 0x41, 0x73, 0x54, 0xf5
		}
	},
	{ },
};

No need to set the field name to nothing.

Hm, this could all be made even smaller with something like the
USB_DEVICE() macro.  How about this instead:

/* IDE guid */
static const struct hv_vmbus_device_id id_table[] = {
	{ VMBUS_DEVICE(0x32, 0x26, 0x41, 0x32, 0xcb, 0x86, 0xa2, 0x44,
		       0x9b, 0x5c, 0x50, 0xd1, 0x41, 0x73, 0x54, 0xf5) },
	{ },
};

That would be easier to read and understand, right?  Half the number of
lines as well, which is always nice.

If so, I'll go make that change here so you don't have to respin these.

thanks,
