Roman,

First, let me thank you. Broadly, this patch-set can be broken into
1. Moving existing definitions around - (to make it possible to share these
between Hyper-V guest drivers and KVM)
2. Cleanup of the existing code in the VMBUS driver (under drivers/hv).

To the extent possible, I want to take all non-KVM code through Greg's tree.
We can then modify the KVM code to use these common definitions. Currently, I too
am working on restructuring VMBUS driver code to fully isolate all x86 dependencies.
I can work with you on integration as I too am moving things around.

Regards,

K. Y
