similar to: [PATCH 1/3]: An implementation of HyperV KVP functionality

I am enclosing a patch that implements the KVP (Key Value Pair) functionality for Linux guests on HyperV. This functionality allows Microsoft Management stack to query information from the guest. This functionality is implemented in two parts: (a) A kernel component that communicates with the host and (b) A user level daemon that implements data gathering. The attached patch (kvp.patch) implements

Added a connector index to support key value/pair (KVP) functionality for Linux guests hosted on a HyperV platform. All KVP related data gathering will be done in a user-level daemon. The kernel=20 component of KVP communicates with the data gathering daemon using this connector index.
