I am not sure if this is the right approach. hv_netvsc takes a dependency on hv_vmbus.
hv_vmbus does have the same DMI detection logic in it. But unless hv_vmbus has loaded
up competely, hv_netvsc will fail on loadup. And I do not think we can guarantee that
hv_vmbus has loaded yet.

It would be better to have netvsc check to make sure hv_vmbus is loaded.

Thanks,

Hank.
