Subject: [PATCH] HV: properly delay KVP packets when negotiation is in
 progress

The host may send multiple KVP packets before the negotiation with daemon
is finished. We need to keep those packets in ring buffer until the daemon
is negotiated and connected.

This patch is based on the work of Nick Meier <Nick.Meier@...rosoft.com>
