Subject: [Patch v2 0/4] Fix uio_hv_generic on systems with >4k page sizes

From: Long Li <longli@...rosoft.com>

UIO framework requires the device memory aligned to page boundary.
Hyper-V may allocate some memory that is Hyper-V page aligned (4k)
but not system page aligned.

Fix this by having Hyper-V always allocate those pages on system page
boundary and expose them to user-mode.

Change in v2:
Added two more patches to the series:
"uio_hv_generic: Adjust ring size according to system page alignment"
"Drivers: hv: Remove hv_free/alloc_* helpers"

Added more details in the commit message of
"uio_hv_generic: Use correct size for interrupt and monitor pages"

Long Li (4):
  Drivers: hv: Allocate interrupt and monitor pages aligned to system
    page boundary
  uio_hv_generic: Use correct size for interrupt and monitor pages
  uio_hv_generic: Adjust ring size according to system page alignment
  Drivers: hv: Remove hv_free/alloc_* helpers
