s/compatibale for/compatible with/

This change (to make it compatible with v4.9) sounds like it should be
in its own separate patch.  I don't see any use of
hv_tmp_cpu_nr_to_vp_nr() being removed, so the changelog doesn't quite
make sense.

I did not sign off on this; please remove.

Please reflow these descriptions to take advantage of an 80 column
width.  They are currently wrapped to fit in 50 columns, which is
unnecessarily short.

Include the actual protocol version in the message?
