[Andy Whitcroft]

f) Patch for File copy from host to guest feature

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

Latest V7 version seems to be: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1869534

This is looking likely to be accepted this time round. Waiting on that from upstream.

Drivers: hv: fcopy_open() can be static
