Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Support per-channel driver state

As we implement Virtual Receive Side Scaling on the networking side
(the VRSS patches are currently under review), it will be useful to have
per-channel state that vmbus drivers can manage. Add support for
managing per-channel state.
