    vmbus: vmbus implementation · 0d71f708

    Add the VMBus infrastructure -- bus, devices, root bridge, vmbus state
    machine, vmbus channel interactions, etc.
    
    VMBus is a collection of technologies.  At its lowest layer, it's a message
    passing and signaling mechanism, allowing efficient passing of messages to and
    from guest VMs.  A layer higher, it's a mechanism for defining channels of
    communication, where each channel is tagged with a type (which implies a
    protocol) and a instance ID.  A layer higher than that, it's a bus driver,
    serving as the basis of device enumeration within a VM, where a channel can
    optionally be exposed as a paravirtual device.  When a server-side (paravirtual
    back-end) component wishes to offer a channel to a guest VM, it does so by
    specifying a channel type, a mode, and an instance ID.  VMBus then exposes this
    in the guest.
    
    More information about VMBus can be found in the file
    vmbuskernelmodeclientlibapi.h in Microsoft's WDK.

     - split into smaller palatable pieces

    Kudos to Evgeny Yakovlev (formerly eyakovlev@virtuozzo.com) and Andrey
    Smetatin (formerly asmetanin@virtuozzo.com) for research and
    prototyping.
