This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests,
the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS
framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent.
This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted
file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen,
the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file
systems are "thawed".
This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate
operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from
the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds.
During this interval, the diff disk is comitted.
In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring.
Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed.

Pull driver core updates from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here's the driver core, and other driver subsystems, pull request for
the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
Outside of a few minor driver core changes, we ended up with the
following different subsystem and core changes as well, due to
interdependancies on the driver core:
- hyperv driver updates
- drivers/memory being created and some drivers moved into it
- extcon driver subsystem created out of the old Android staging
switch driver code
- dynamic debug updates
- printk rework, and /dev/kmsg changes
All of this has been tested in the linux-next releases for a few weeks
with no reported problems.

The current version negotiation code is not "future proof". Fix this
by allowing each service the flexibility to either specify the highest
version it can support or it can support the highest version number
the host is offering.

In the existing code, we only stop queue when the ringbuffer is full,
so the current packet has to be dropped or retried from upper layer.
This patch stops the tx queue when available ringbuffer is below
the low watermark. So the ringbuffer still has small amount of space
available for the current packet. This will reduce the overhead of
retries on sending.

Support the newly defined KVP message types. It turns out that the host
pushes a set of standard key value pairs as soon as the guest opens the KVP channel.
Since we cannot handle these tuples until the user level daemon loads up, defer
reading the KVP channel until the user level daemon is launched.
