[PATCH 7/7] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Suport an API to send packet with additional control

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Implement an API that gives additional control on the what VMBUS flags will be
set as well as if the host needs to be signalled. This API will be
useful for clients that want to batch up requests to the host.
