I have asked Wu for details. Examining the relevant VMBUS code, I cannot see
how this patch could be responsible for the freeze. For what it is worth looking at dmesg, it appears that
we are not running on a Hypervisor.

There was a bug in this patch and that was fixed a few days later:

    Drivers:hv: Fix a bug in vmbus_driver_unregister()

    The function vmbus_exists() was introduced recently to deal with cases where
    the vmbus driver failed to initialize and yet other Hyper-V drivers attempted
    to register with the vmbus bus driver. This patch introduced a bug where
    vmbus_driver_unregister() would fail to unregister the driver. This patch
    fixes the problem.
