similar to: [PATCH]: An implementation of HyperV KVP functionality

An implementation of key/value pair feature (KVP) for Linux on HyperV. In this version of the patch I have addressed all the comments I have received to date. I have also included the code for the user-level daemon here for your reference. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

All guest specific data gathering is implemented in a user-mode daemon. The kernel component of KVP passes the "key" to this daemon and the daemon is responsible for passing back the corresponding value. This daemon communicates with the kernel component via a netlink channel. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <ksrinivasan at novell.com> --- drivers/staging/hv/tools/hv_kvp_daemon.c
