similar to: [PATCH 0000/0117] Staging: hv: Driver cleanup

Further cleanup of the hv drivers: 1) Cleanup the reference counting mess for both stor and net devices. 2) Handle all block devices using the storvsc driver. 3) Accomodate some host side scsi emulation bugs. 4) In case of scsi errors off-line the device. Regads, K. Y

Further cleanup of the hv drivers. 1) Implement code for autoloading the vmbus drivers without using PCI or DMI signatures. I have implemented this based on Greg's feedback on my earlier implementation. 2) Cleanup error handling across the board and use standard Linux error codes. 3) General cleanup Regards, K. Y

Address Greg's VmBus audit comments: 1) Leverage driver_data field in struct hv_vmbus_device_id to simplify driver code. 2) Make the util driver conform to the Linux Driver Model. 3) Get rid of the ext field in struct hv_device by using the driver specific data functionality. 4) Other general cleanup. Regards, K. Y

Further cleanup of the hv drivers: 1) Continue to cleanup our drivers to conform to the Linux Driver Model. 2) Fix some long standing bugs with regards to unloading and reloading the drivers - block, net and stor. 3) VMBUS is an ACPI enumerated device; make VMBUS an ACPI bus driver. 4) Get rid of channel polling code; instead the channel receive paths will be purely interrupt

More cleanup. In this patch-set we deal with the following issues: 1) While a Linux guest on Hyper-V can be assigned removable media devices (DVD, floppy etc), these devices are not handled by the Hyper-V block driver. So, we cleanup all the dead code dealing with removable media devices. 2) There were multiple functions to retrieve information about the device. Since much of

This patch-set addresses some of the bus/driver model cleanup that Greg sugested over the last couple of days. In this patch-set we deal with the following issues: 1) Cleanup unnecessary state in struct hv_device and struct hv_driver to be compliant with the Linux Driver model. 2) Cleanup the vmbus_match() function to conform with the Linux Driver model. 3) Cleanup error

The latest upstream merge changed struct block_device_operations: This merge got rid of blkvsc_media_changed and introduced the function blkvsc_check_events. This broke all the patches that were sent after the tree was closed the last time. This is a resend of this patch-set to account for this change in the kernel. More cleanup.
