K. Y. Srinivasan e68d2971d2 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement multi-channel support
Starting with Win8, the host supports multiple sub-channels for a given
device. As in the past, the initial channel offer specifies the device and
is associated with both the type and the instance GUIDs. For performance
critical devices, the host may support multiple sub-channels. The sub-channels
share the same type and instance GUID as the primary channel. The number of
sub-channels offerrred to the guest depends on the number of virtual CPUs
assigned to the guest. The guest can request the creation of these sub-channels
and once created and opened, the guest can distribute the traffic across all
the channels (the primary and the sub-channels). A request sent on a sub-channel
will have the response delivered on the same sub-channel.

At channel (sub-channel) creation we bind the channel interrupt to a CPU and
with this sub-channel support we will be able to spread the interrupt load
of a given device across all available CPUs.

K. Y. Srinivasan c2b8e5202c Drivers: hv: Implement flow management on the send side
Implement flow management on the send side. When the sender is blocked, the reader
can potentially signal the sender to indicate there is now room to send.

Add state to bind a channel to a specific VCPU. This will help us better
distribute incoming interrupt load.

K. Y. Srinivasan 21c3bef5db Drivers: hv: Change the signature of vmbus_set_event()
In preparation for supporting a per-connection signaling mechanism,
change the signature of vmbus_set_event(). This change is also
needed to implement other aspects of the signaling optimization.

The host has already implemented the "read" side optimizations.
Leverage that to optimize "write" side signaling.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 46a9719136 Staging: hv: move hyperv code out of staging directory
After many years wandering the desert, it is finally time for the
Microsoft HyperV code to move out of the staging directory.  Or at least
the core hyperv bus code, and the utility driver, the rest still have
some review to get through by the various subsystem maintainers.
