Drivers: hv: Implement the file copy service
Implement the file copy service for Linux guests on Hyper-V. This permits the host to copy a file (over VMBUS) into the guest. This facility is part of "guest integration services" supported on the Windows platform. Here is a link that provides additional details on this functionality: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn464282.aspx In V1 version of the patch I have addressed comments from Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> and Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> In V2 version of this patch I did some minor cleanup (making some globals static). In V4 version of the patch I have addressed all of Olaf's most recent set of comments/concerns. In V5 version of the patch I had addressed Greg's most recent comments. I would like to thank Greg for suggesting that I use misc device; it has significantly simplified the code. In V6 version of the patch I have cleaned up error message based on Olaf's comments. I have also rebased the patch based on the current tip. In this version of the patch, I have addressed the latest comments from Greg. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
