The storage driver (storvsc_drv.c) handles all block storage devices assigned to Linux guests hosted on Hyper-V. This driver has been in the staging tree for a while and this patch moves it out of the staging area. As per Greg's recommendation, this patch makes no changes to the staging/hv directory. Once the driver moves out of staging, we will cleanup the staging/hv directory. This patch includes all the patches that I have sent against the staging/hv tree to address the comments I have gotten to date on this storage driver. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Maybe that help text could be slightly more verbose? Like "This is only necessary if you plan to run this kernel as a guest on Microsoft Hyper-V"? And I would welcome the usual "the module will be called" text for this driver, too. See the first 2 lines of context of think hunk for a copy&paste source of this text. Eike
