Staging: hv: storvsc: Move the storage driver out of the staging area

2012-02-13T19:35:20Z

The storage driver (storvsc_drv.c) handles all block storage devices assigned to Linux guests hosted on Hyper-V. This driver has been in the staging tree for a while and this patch moves it out of the staging area. James was willing to apply this patch during the 3.3-rc phase and a decision was taken to defer this to 3.4 since Greg had queued up a bunch of storvsc patches for 3.4. Now that Greg has applied all of the pending storvsc patches, I am sending this patch to move this driver out of staging. Based on James' recommendation, this patch gets rid of the unneeded files in the staging/hv directory. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Acked-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
