Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Low speed Hyper-V devices support

Hyper-V is adding multiple low speed "speciality" synthetic devices.
Instead of writing a new kernel-level VMBus driver for each device,
make the devices accessible to user space through UIO-based
uio_hv_generic driver. Each device can then be supported by a user
space driver. This approach optimizes the development process and
provides flexibility to user space applications to control the key
interactions with the VMBus ring buffer.

The new synthetic devices are low speed devices that don't support
VMBus monitor bits, and so they must use vmbus_setevent() to notify
the host of ring buffer updates. These new devices also have smaller
ring buffer sizes which requires to add support for variable ring buffer
sizes.

Moreover, this patch series adds a new implementation of the fcopy
application that uses the new UIO driver. The older fcopy driver and
application will be phased out gradually. Development of other similar
userspace drivers is still underway.


Efforts have been made previously to implement this solution earlier.
Here are the discussions related to those attempts:
