-Changes since v9
-- minimized struct hvsock_sock by making the send/recv buffers pointers.
-   the buffers are allocated by kmalloc() in __hvsock_create() now.
-- minimized the sizes of the send/recv buffers and the vmbus ringbuffers.
-
-Changes since v10
-
-1) add module params: send_ring_page, recv_ring_page. They can be used to
-enlarge the ringbuffer size to get better performance, e.g.,
-# modprobe hv_sock  recv_ring_page=16 send_ring_page=16
-By default, recv_ring_page is 3 and send_ring_page is 2.
-
-2) add module param max_socket_number (the default is 1024).
-A user can enlarge the number to create more than 1024 hv_sock sockets.
-By default, 1024 sockets take about 1024 * (3+2+1+1) * 4KB = 28M bytes.
-(Here 1+1 means 1 page for send/recv buffers per connection, respectively.)
-
-3) implement the TODO in hvsock_shutdown().
-
-4) fix a bug in hvsock_close_connection():
-   I remove "sk->sk_socket->state = SS_UNCONNECTED;" -- actually this line
-is not really useful. For a connection triggered by a host app’s connect(),
-sk->sk_socket remains NULL before the connection is accepted by the server
-app (in Linux VM): see hvsock_accept() -> hvsock_accept_wait() ->
-sock_graft(connected, newsock). If the host app exits before the server
-app’s accept() returns, the host can send a rescind-message to close the
-connection and later in the Linux VM’s message handler 
-i.e. vmbus_onoffer_rescind()), Linux will get a NULL de-referencing crash. 
-
-5) fix a bug in hvsock_open_connection()
-  I move the vmbus_set_chn_rescind_callback() to a later place, because
-when vmbus_open() fails, hvsock_close_connection() can do nothing and we
-count on vmbus_onoffer_rescind() -> vmbus_device_unregister() to clean up
-the device.
-
-6) some stylistic modificiation.
