I am not very happy with this patch, it is a temporary solution to
a potential problem (or reworded: we don't know what the problem is
but we are fixing it anyway - in a way that is potentially not
related to the bug at all).
If the commit you are fixing is the problem I'd rather revert it,
waiting to understand the problem and to rework the code accordingly.
I don't think b4b77778ecc5 is essential to Hyper-V code - it is a
rework, let's fix it and repost it when it is updated through the
debugging you are carrying out. In the meantime we can revert it
to fix the issue.
Thanks,
Lorenzo
