This patch-set addresses some of the bus/driver model cleanup that Greg sugested over the last couple of days. In this patch-set we deal with the following issues: 1) Cleanup unnecessary state in struct hv_device and struct hv_driver to be compliant with the Linux Driver model. 2) Cleanup the vmbus_match() function to conform with the Linux Driver model. 3) Cleanup error handling in the vmbus_probe() and vmbus_child_device_register() functions. Fixed a bug in the probe failure path as part of this cleanup. 4) The Windows host cannot handle the vmbus_driver being unloaded and subsequently loaded. Cleanup the driver with this in mind. 5) Get rid of struct hv_bus that embedded struct bus_type to conform with the LDM. 6) Add probe/remove/shutdown functions to struct hv_driver to conform to LDM. 7) On some older Hyper-V hosts, the Linux PCI sub-sytem is not able to allocate irq resources to the vmbus driver. I recently learnt that the vmbus driver is an acpi enumerated device on the Hyper-V platform. Added code to retrieve irq information from DSDT. Regards, K.
