drivers/hyperv is not the best name for obvious reasons...

I think that even if we had a special directory for vmci having network
drivers in Dave's realm and pvscsi in James's is best option, so the new
directory would contain vmci and the balloon driver (vsock will go into
net/).  Given that balloon is already in drivers/misc it looked like
obvious place for VMCI as well.

Thanks,
Dmitry
