Sure, I'll make the required changes.

I am not sure about this behavior. I have requested Dexuan offline
for a comment.

IIUC, below scenarios can happen based on your comment-

Case 1:
VF channel offer is received in time before hv_pci_resume() and there
are no problems.

Case 2:
Resume proceeds just after getting ALLOFFERS_DELIVERED msg and a warning
is printed that this VF channel is not present after resume.
Then two scenarios can happen:
   Case 2.1:
   VF channel offer is received before hv_pci_resume() and things work
   fine. Warning printed is spurious.
   Case 2.2:
   VM channel offer is not received before hv_pci_resume() and relid is
   not yet restored by onoffer. This is a problem. Warning is printed in
   this case for missing offer.

I think it all depends on whether or not VFs are removed in local
HyperV VMs. I'll try to get this information. Thanks for pointing this
out.

Naman
