Further cleanup of the hv drivers. 

	1) Cleanup reference counting.

	2) Handle all block devices using the storvsc driver. I have modified
	   the implementation here based on Christoph's feedback on my earlier
	   implementation.

	3) Fix bugs.

	4) Accomodate some host side scsi emulation bugs.

	5) In case of scsi errors off-line the device.

This patch-set further reduces the size of Hyper-V drivers - the code is
about 10% smaller. This reduction is mainly because we have eliminated the
blkvsc driver.
If my tracking is correct, I applied everything in this series except
the following patches
	[PATCH 37/46] Staging: hv: vmbus: Check for events before messages
	[PATCH 41/46] Staging: hv: vmbus: Fix a bug in error handling in vmbus_bus_init()
	[PATCH 46/46] Staging: hv: Update the TODO file

Please fix up patches 37 and 41 and resend, and for 46, that should be
totally different as mentioned, but you might want to send a patch that
at the least adds your name to the file at the bottom, as you wanted.
Also note that the MAINTAINERS file should also be adjusted to match.

thanks,
