Currently, VMbus drivers use pointers into guest memory as request IDs
for interactions with Hyper-V. To be more robust in the face of errors
or malicious behavior from a compromised Hyper-V, avoid exposing
guest memory addresses to Hyper-V. Also avoid Hyper-V giving back a
bad request ID that is then treated as the address of a guest data
structure with no validation. Instead, encapsulate these memory
addresses and provide small integers as request IDs.

The first patch creates the definitions for the data structure, provides
helper methods to generate new IDs and retrieve data, and
allocates/frees the memory needed for vmbus_requestor.

The second and third patches make use of vmbus_requestor to send request
IDs to Hyper-V in storvsc and netvsc respectively.

Thanks.
Andres Beltran

Em, I don't expect the changes introduced since v1 to have any observable
effects, but I really don't know: I should be able to complete my testing
of this by tomorrow or so; for now, please just ignore this tag.

Thanks,
  Andrea

How does this interact with use of the vmbus in usermode by DPDK through hv_uio_generic?
Will it still work?

This new mechanism for generating requestIDs to pass to Hyper-V is
available for VMbus drivers to use, but drivers that have not been updated
to use it are unaffected.  So hv_uio_generic will work as it always has.
