Nit: any particular reason why we need to return an error from here? I'd
suggest we 'return 0;' if it doesn't break anything (we're still running
on Hyper-V, it's just a coincedence that there's nothing to do here,
eventually we may get some devices/handlers I guess. Also, there's going
to be server-side Vmbus eventually, we may as well initialize it here.
