Currently, pointers to guest memory are passed to Hyper-V as
transaction IDs in storvsc. In the face of errors or malicious
behavior in Hyper-V, storvsc should not expose or trust the transaction
IDs returned by Hyper-V to be valid guest memory addresses. Instead,
use small integers generated by vmbus_requestor as requests
(transaction) IDs.

James and Martin, FYI I'm going to take this patch via hyperv tree
because it depends on the first patch.

Wei.
