Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement multi-channel support
Starting with Win8, the host supports multiple sub-channels for a given device. As in the past, the initial channel offer specifies the device and is associated with both the type and the instance GUIDs. For performance critical devices, the host may support multiple sub-channels. The sub-channels share the same type and instance GUID as the primary channel. The number of sub-channels offerrred to the guest depends on the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the guest. The guest can request the creation of these sub-channels and once created and opened, the guest can distribute the traffic across all the channels (the primary and the sub-channels). A request sent on a sub-channel will have the response delivered on the same sub-channel. At channel (sub-channel) creation we bind the channel interrupt to a CPU and with this sub-channel support we will be able to spread the interrupt load of a given device across all available CPUs.
