Sashiko AI raised an interesting question about the startup timing --
whether the vmbus_platform_driver_probe() is guaranteed to have
set vmbus_interrupt before the VTL functions below run and use it.
What causes the mshv_vtl.ko module to be loaded, and hence run
mshv_vtl_init()?

Assuming there's no timing problem vs. the VMBus driver,
