PATCH 2/6 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use READ_ONCE() to read variables that are volatile

Use the READ_ONCE macro to access variabes that can change asynchronously. This is the recommended mechanism for dealing with "unsafe" compiler optimizations.

PATCH 6/6 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement APIs to support "in place" consumption of vmbus packets

In reply to K. Y. Srinivasan

Implement APIs for in-place consumption of vmbus packets. Currently, each packet is copied and processed one at a time and as part of processing each packet we potentially may signal the host (if it is waiting for room to produce a packet).

These APIs help batched in-place processing of vmbus packets. We also optimize host signaling by having a separate API to signal the end of in-place consumption. With netvsc using these APIs, on an iperf run on average I see about 20X reduction in checks to signal the host.
