FWIW, with this new check, all of the validity checks in vmbus_onmessage() are
redundant and could be removed.  There's already a check here that ensures
msgtype won't be too big, and this new check ensures that message_handler is
not NULL.

For completeness, I'd like to see the channel_message_table also updated
with these new entries so that everything stays in sync and is explicitly
defined.
