Subject[PATCH v1 0/2] Fix CONFIG_HYPERV and vmbus related anamoly
Date
At present, drivers/Makefile will subst =m to =y for CONFIG_HYPERV
for hv subdir. Also, drivers/hv/Makefile replaces =m to =y to build in
hv_common.c that is needed for the drivers. Moreover, vmbus driver is
built if CONFIG_HYPER is set, either loadable or builtin.

This is not a good approach. CONFIG_HYPERV is really an umbrella
config that encompasses builtin code and various other things and not
a dedicated config option for VMBus. VMBus should really have a config
option just like CONFIG_HYPERV_BALLOON etc. This small series introduces
CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS to build VMBus driver and make that distinction
explicit. With that CONFIG_HYPERV could be changed to bool.

For now, hv_common.c is left as is to reduce conflicts for upcoming
patches, but once merges are mostly done, that and some others should
be moved to virt/hyperv directory.

V1:
o Change subject from hyper-v to "Drivers: hv:"
o Rewrite commit messages paying attention to VMBus and not vmbus
o Change some wordings in Kconfig
o Make new VMBUS config option default to HYPERV option for a smoother
transition

Mukesh Rathor (2):
Driver: hv: Add CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS option
Drivers: hv: Make CONFIG_HYPERV bool
