+<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">hv_vmbus</code> provides a high performance
+ communication interface between guest and root partitions in Hyper-V.
+ Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization technology from Microsoft.
+ Hyper-V supports isolation in terms of a partition. A partition is a logical
+ unit of isolation, supported by the hypervisor, in which operating systems
+ execute.</p>
+<p class="Pp">The Microsoft hypervisor must have at least one parent, or root,
+ partition, running Windows Server operating system. The virtualization stack
+ runs in the parent partition and has direct access to the hardware devices.
+ The root partition then creates the child partitions which host the guest
+ operating systems.</p>
+<p class="Pp">Child partitions do not have direct access to other hardware
+ resources and are presented a virtual view of the resources, as virtual
+ devices (VDevs). Requests to the virtual devices are redirected either via
+ the VMBus or the hypervisor to the devices in the parent partition, which
+ handles the requests.</p>
+<p class="Pp">The VMBus is a logical inter-partition communication channel. The
+ parent partition hosts Virtualization Service Providers (VSPs) which
+ communicate over the VMBus to handle device access requests from child
+ partitions. Child partitions host Virtualization Service Consumers (VSCs)
+ which redirect device requests to VSPs in the parent partition via the
+ VMBus. The Hyper-V VMBus driver defines and implements the interface that
+ facilitate high performance bi-directional communication between the VSCs
+ and VSPs. All VSCs utilize the VMBus driver.</p>
