Hmmm.  I think maybe we *are* there. :-)   If we get a packet with rqst_id
of zero and a vstor operation other than COMPLETE_IO or FCHBA_DATA,
then storvsc_on_receive() will be called.  The vstor operation will be
checked there, and anything not listed in the switch statement is silently
ignored, which I think is good enough.  We could output a message
in the "default" leg of the switch statement, but it's kind of a shrug for me.
