I know you have determined experimentally that Hyper-V sends
unsolicited packets with the above length, so the idea is to validate
that the guest actually gets packets at least that big.  But I wonder if
we should think about this slightly differently.

The goal is for the storvsc driver to protect itself against bad or
malicious messages from Hyper-V.  For the unsolicited messages, the
only field that this storvsc driver needs to access is the
vstor_packet->operation field.  So an alternate approach is to set
the minimum length as small as possible while ensuring that field is valid.
Then if Hyper-V later changes the size of these unsolicited packets to
some smaller size that still contains a valid "operation" field, this code
will still work.   If in a new version of the protocol Hyper-V adds fields
that this driver needs to look at, then the minimum size can be
adjusted as needed for that new protocol version.

I'm good with the rest of the code.  It's just a question of whether to perhaps
"future-proof" the code by not requiring a packet size any bigger than the
driver actually needs to reference.
