> Subject: [PATCH 3/6] uio_hv_generic: Enable interrupt for low speed VMBus
> devices
>
> Hyper-V is adding some "specialty" synthetic devices. Instead of writing new
> kernel-level VMBus drivers for these devices, the devices will be presented to
> user space via this existing Hyper-V generic UIO driver, so that a user space
> driver
> can handle the device. Since these new synthetic devices are low speed
> devices,
> they don't support monitor bits and we must use vmbus_setevent() to enable
> interrupts from the host.
