Greg,

Peter has checked in the infrastructural patches into v3.8-rc7. This version
does not have the patches that upgraded the VMBUS protocol version to the
win8 levels. How will the infrastructural patches get moved forward to the version where you
have checked-in all the vmbus protocol updates:
[PATCH 00/28] Drivers: hv: Update the Vmbus protocol.

Now that Peter has checked in the needed patches, could you take this patch through your tree.
Let me know, if you need, I can re-send this patch to you.

Regards,

K. Y
