ac8f73305e connector: add portid to unicast in addition to broadcasting
This allows replying only to the requestor portid while still
supporting broadcasting.  Pass 0 to portid for the previous behavior.

3a4916050b Drivers: hv: util: Correctly support ws2008R2 and earlier
The current code does not correctly negotiate the version numbers for the util
driver when hosted on earlier hosts. The version numbers presented by this
driver were not compatible with the version numbers supported by Windows Server
2008. Fix this problem.

I would like to thank Olaf Hering (ohering@suse.com) for identifying the problem.

6741335bc7 Drivers: hv: util: Fix a bug in version negotiation code for util services
The current code picked the highest version advertised by the host. WS2012 R2
has implemented a protocol version for KVP that is not compatible with prior
protocol versions of KVP. Fix the bug in the current code by explicitly specifying
the protocol version that the guest can support.

96dd86fa58 Drivers: hv: Add a new driver to support host initiated backup
This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests,
the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS
framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent.
This driver allows the host to initiate a  "Freeze" operation on all the mounted
file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen,
the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file
systems are "thawed".

This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate
operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from
the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds.
During this interval, the diff disk is comitted.

In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring.
Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed.
