Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Suport an API to send pagebuffers with additional control

Implement an API for sending pagebuffers that gives more control to the client
in terms of setting the vmbus flags as well as deciding when to
notify the host. This will be useful for enabling batch processing.
