VSS stands for "Volume Shadow Copy Service". Unlike virtual machine
snapshot, it only takes snapshot for the virtual disks, so both
filesystem and applications have to aware of it, and cooperate the
whole VSS process.
This driver exposes two device files to the userland:
/dev/hv_fsvss_dev
Normally userland programs should _not_ mess with this device file.
It is currently used by the hv_vss_daemon(8), which freezes and
thaws the filesystem. NOTE: currently only UFS is supported, if
the system mounts _any_ other filesystems, the hv_vss_daemon(8)
will veto the VSS process.
If hv_vss_daemon(8) was disabled, then this device file must be
opened, and proper ioctls must be issued to keep the VSS working.
/dev/hv_appvss_dev
Userland application can opened this device file to receive the
VSS freeze notification, hold the VSS for a while (mainly to flush
application data to filesystem), release the VSS process, and
receive the VSS thaw notification i.e. applications can run again.
The VSS will still work, even if this device file is not opened.
However, only filesystem consistency is promised, if this device
file is not opened or is not operated properly.
hv_vss_daemon(8) is started by devd(8) by default. It can be disabled
by editting /etc/devd/hyperv.conf.

The GUID string provided by hypervisor has leading and trailing braces,
while our GUID string does not have braces at all. Both braces should
be ignored, when the GUID strings are compared.

- By default, adjust time upon SYNC request. It can be disabled
through hw.hvtimesync.ignore_sync_req. SYNC request will be
sent by hypervisor the host is resumed, rebooted, etc.
- By default, adjust time upon SAMPLE request, if there is 100ms
difference between VM time and hypervisor time. This can be
disabled through hw.hvtimesync.sample_drift.
And nuke the unnecessary task, since channel callback is running
in a Hyper-V taskqueue nowadays.

HyperV code was ported from Linux. There is an implementation of
work queue called hv_work_queue. In FreeBSD, taskqueue could be
used for the same purpose. Convert all the consumer of hv_work_queue
to use taskqueue, and remove work queue implementation.

Without the patch, there is a race condition: when poll() is invoked(),
if kvp_globals.daemon_busy is false, the daemon won't be timely
woke up, because hv_kvp_send_msg_to_daemon() can't wake up the daemon
in this case.

many thanks for their continued support of FreeBSD.
While I'm there, also implement a new build knob, WITHOUT_HYPERV to
disable building and installing of the HyperV utilities when necessary.
The HyperV utilities are only built for i386 and amd64 targets.
This is a stable/10 candidate for inclusion with 10.1-RELEASE.

- change the SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER sysinits in hv_utilc and
hv_netvsc_drv_freebsd.c to SI_SUB_KTHREAD_IDLE, since the
former is no longer in FreeBSD.
The use of these SYSINITs can probably be removed.
be pulled into FreeBSD. From now, FreeBSD will be considered the
upstream repo.
First step: move the drivers away from the contrib area and into
the base system.
A follow-on commit will include the drivers in the amd64 GENERIC kernel.
