hv_netvsc: Use vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send VMBus messages
commit 4f98616b855cb0e3b5917918bb07b44728eb96ea upstream.
netvsc currently uses vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer() to send VMBus
messages. This function creates a series of GPA ranges, each of which
contains a single PFN. However, if the rndis header in the VMBus
message crosses a page boundary, the netvsc protocol with the host
requires that both PFNs for the rndis header must be in a single "GPA
range" data structure, which isn't possible with
vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). As the first step in fixing this, add a
new function netvsc_build_mpb_array() to build a VMBus message with
multiple GPA ranges, each of which may contain multiple PFNs. Use
vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send this VMBus message to the host.
There's no functional change since higher levels of netvsc don't
maintain or propagate knowledge of contiguous PFNs. Based on its
input, netvsc_build_mpb_array() still produces a separate GPA range
for each PFN and the behavior is the same as with
vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). But the groundwork is laid for a
subsequent patch to provide the necessary grouping.
