Staging: hv: move hyperv code out of staging directory After many years wandering the desert, it is finally time for the Microsoft HyperV code to move out of the staging directory. Or at least the core hyperv bus code, and the utility driver, the rest still have some review to get through by the various subsystem maintainers.

Drivers: hv: Add Hyper-V balloon driver Add the basic balloon driver. Windows hosts dynamically manage the guest memory allocation via a combination memory hot add and ballooning. Memory hot add is used to grow the guest memory upto the maximum memory that can be allocatted to the guest. Ballooning is used to both shrink as well as expand up to the max memory. Supporting hot add needs additional support from the host. We will support hot add when this support is available. For now, by setting the VM startup memory to the VM max memory, we can use ballooning alone to dynamically manage memory allocation amongst competing guests on a given host. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Drivers: hv: util: introduce hv_utils_transport abstraction The intention is to make KVP/VSS drivers work through misc char devices. Introduce an abstraction for kernel/userspace communication to make the migration smoother. Transport operational mode (netlink or char device) is determined by the first received message. To support driver upgrades the switch from netlink to chardev operational mode is supported. Every hv_util daemon is supposed to register 2 callbacks: 1) on_msg() to get notified when the userspace daemon sent a message; 2) on_reset() to get notified when the userspace daemon drops the connection.
