This requirement is for a different reason. We had patch out last Wednesday
To address this but was rejected by Greg for other reasons.
What is happening here is that in the vmbus_match function we 
need to get at a certain field in a driver agnostic way. This hack solves
the problem. It will be removed once this series goes in.

This is the hack I talked about earlier. This will go away
once this series goes in.

This hack is still required. We will get rid of this shortly.
