Provide a set of IOCTLs for creating and managing child partitions when running as root partition on Hyper-V. The new driver is enabled via CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT. A brief overview of the interface: MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION is the entry point, returning a file descriptor representing a child partition. IOCTLs on this fd can be used to map memory, create VPs, etc. Creating a VP returns another file descriptor representing that VP which in turn has another set of corresponding IOCTLs for running the VP, getting/setting state, etc. MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL is a generic "passthrough" hypercall IOCTL which can be used for a number of partition or VP hypercalls. This is for hypercalls that do not affect any state in the kernel driver, such as getting and setting VP registers and partition properties, translating addresses, etc. It is "passthrough" because the binary input and output for the hypercall is only interpreted by the VMM - the kernel driver does nothing but insert the VP and partition id where necessary (which are always in the same place), and execute the hypercall.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
