Drivers: hv: vmbus: Introduce the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message type
VMBus version 4.1 and later support the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL(22) message type which can be used to request Hyper-V to change the vCPU that a channel will interrupt. Introduce the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message type, and define the vmbus_send_modifychannel() function to send CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL requests to the host via a hypercall. The function is then used to define a sysfs "store" operation, which allows to change the (v)CPU the channel will interrupt by using the sysfs interface. The feature can be used for load balancing or other purposes. One interesting catch here is that Hyper-V can *not* currently ACK CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL messages with the promise that (after the ACK is sent) the channel won't send any more interrupts to the "old" CPU. The peculiarity of the CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL messages is problematic if the user want to take a CPU offline, since we don't want to take a CPU offline (and, potentially, "lose" channel interrupts on such CPU) if the host is still processing a CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL message associated to that CPU. It is worth mentioning, however, that we have been unable to observe the above mentioned "race": in all our tests, CHANNELMSG_MODIFYCHANNEL requests appeared *as if* they were processed synchronously by the host.
