Sepherosa Ziehau 168fce73b5 hyperv/vss: Add driver and tools for VSS
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.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.  See build(7)
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.  See build(7), config(8),
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory.  GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.
