These patches extend uio_hv_generic driver to make it usable
for DPDK networking. The original version did not enough
functionality to support userspace network drivers. Needed support
of send/receive buffers and sub channels.

Patches against current char-misc-next

  - rebase on current char-misc-next (already got vmbus patches)
  - don't use module parameters (not necessary now)

  uio_hv_generic: create send and receive buffers
  uio_hv_generic: check that host supports monitor page
