hv_sock: implements Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets (AF_VSOCK)
Hyper-V Sockets (hv_sock) supplies a byte-stream based communication
mechanism between the host and the guest. It uses VMBus ringbuffer as the
transportation layer.
With hv_sock, applications between the host (Windows 10, Windows Server
2016 or newer) and the guest can talk with each other using the traditional
socket APIs.
More info about Hyper-V Sockets is available here:
"Make your own integration services":
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/make-integration-service
The patch implements the necessary support in Linux guest by introducing a new
vsock transport for AF_VSOCK.
