Does 'count' actually have a relationship to PAGE_SIZE, or
is PAGE_SIZE just used as an arbitrary size limit?  I'm
wondering what happens on ARM64 with a 64K page size,
for example.  If it's just arbitrary, coding such a constant
would be better.

This function needs to be covered by the device lock, so that
dev->driver_override can't be set to NULL and the memory freed
during the above 'if' statement.  When called from vmbus_probe(),
the device lock is held, so it's good. But when called from
vmbus_match(), the device lock may not be held: consider the path
__driver_attach() -> driver_match_device() -> vmbus_match().
