Greg,

You had acked the previous version of these patches that I had sent along with the storage driver
patches that used this infrastructure. We are going to be submitting network driver patches that will use
this infrastructure to implement VRSS (virtual receive side scaling) and that is the reason I chose to not tie
up these vmbus patches with the storvsc patches. Please let me know if you are ok with the changes I have
made in this version. Once these patches are committed, we will submit both storage and networking patches
that use this infrastructure.

Regards,

K. Y
