Because the generic part implementation can't meet the netvsc driver
requests that allocate 16M memory and map pages via vmap_pfn(). So add 
Hyperv alloc_noncontiguous and vmap_noncontiguous callbacks. If this is
not a right way. we should call these hyper-V functions in the netvsc
driver directly, right?

Could you have a look at Michael summary about this series we made and
give some guides?
