PATCH 1/1 Staging: hv: storvsc: Move the storage driver out of the staging area

The storage driver (storvsc_drv.c) handles all block storage devices assigned to Linux guests hosted on Hyper-V. This driver has been in the staging tree for a while and this patch moves it out of the staging area. As per Greg's recommendation, this patch makes no changes to the staging/hv directory. Once the driver moves out of staging, we will cleanup the staging/hv directory.

James was willing to apply this patch during the 3.3-rc phase and a decision was taken to defer this to 3.4 since Greg had queued up a bunch of storvsc patches for 3.4. Now that Greg has applied all of the pending storvsc patches, I am re-sending this patch to move this driver out of staging.

James, any objection to me applying this to the staging-next tree, and at the same time, deleting this version of the driver from the drivers/staging/hv/ directory?

Well, yes, it has the same build failure as the previous one and that will make it non bisectable.
