[PATCH 0/8] Staging: hv: Driver cleanup

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Further cleanup of the hv drivers:

	1) Cleanup all remaining checkpatch warnings/errors.

	2) Get rid of items from the TODO file that have been either
	   completed or cannot be done.

	3) Update the TODO file to reflect the current status.
	  

Regards,

Perhaps it's better and more consistent with
other kernel style uses to remove #pragma pack[...]
and mark the individual structs with __packed;

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] "pragma.*pack" * | wc -l
221
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] "(__attribute__.*packed|\b__packed\b)" * | wc -l

Good point. Currently, this driver is not functional. When the driver
is finally functional, there is a whole lot of cleanup that is needed and I will
do what you are suggesting then. For this go around, I just wanted to address
checkpatch issues with minimal change.
