												vmbus: vmbus implementation
Add the VMBus infrastructure -- bus, devices, root bridge, vmbus state
machine, vmbus channel interactions, etc.
VMBus is a collection of technologies.  At its lowest layer, it's a message
passing and signaling mechanism, allowing efficient passing of messages to and
from guest VMs.  A layer higher, it's a mechanism for defining channels of
communication, where each channel is tagged with a type (which implies a
protocol) and a instance ID.  A layer higher than that, it's a bus driver,
serving as the basis of device enumeration within a VM, where a channel can
optionally be exposed as a paravirtual device.  When a server-side (paravirtual
back-end) component wishes to offer a channel to a guest VM, it does so by
specifying a channel type, a mode, and an instance ID.  VMBus then exposes this
in the guest.
More information about VMBus can be found in the file
vmbuskernelmodeclientlibapi.h in Microsoft's WDK.
TODO:
 - split into smaller palatable pieces
 - more comments
 - check and handle corner cases
