WS2012 R2 and above hosts can support kexec in that thay can support
reconnecting to the host (as would be needed in the kexec path)
on any CPU. Enable this. Pre ws2012 r2 hosts don't have this ability
and consequently cannot support kexec.

If util transport fails to initialize for any reason, the list of transport
handlers may become corrupted due to freeing the transport handler without
removing it from the list. Fix this by cleaning it up from the list.

Pass the channel information to the util drivers that need to defer
reading the channel while they are processing a request. This would address
the following issue reported by Vitaly:

Commit 3cace4a61610 ("Drivers: hv: utils: run polling callback always in
interrupt context") removed direct *_transaction.state = HVUTIL_READY
assignments from *_handle_handshake() functions introducing the following
race: if a userspace daemon connects before we get first non-negotiation
request from the server hv_poll_channel() won't set transaction state to
HVUTIL_READY as (!channel) condition will fail, we set it to non-NULL on
the first real request from the server.

Message header is modified by the hypervisor and we read it in a loop,
we need to prevent compilers from optimizing accesses. There are no such
optimizations at this moment, this is just a future proof.

wait_for_completion() may sleep, it enables interrupts and this
is something we really want to avoid on crashes because interrupt
handlers can cause other crashes. Switch to the recently introduced
vmbus_wait_for_unload() doing busy wait instead.

We must handle HVMSG_TIMER_EXPIRED messages in the interrupt context
and we offload all the rest to vmbus_on_msg_dpc() tasklet. This functions
loops to see if there are new messages pending. In case we'll ever see
HVMSG_TIMER_EXPIRED message there we're going to lose it as we can't
handle it from there. Avoid looping in vmbus_on_msg_dpc(), we're OK
with handling one message per interrupt.
