I got HV_STATUS_INVALID_CONNECTION_ID on Hyper-V 2008 R2 when keeping
running
"rmmod hv_netvsc; modprobe hv_netvsc; rmmod hv_utils; modprobe
hv_utils"
in a Linux guest. Looks the host has some kind of throttling
mechanism if
some kinds of hypercalls are sent too frequently.
Better to clarify this kind of throttling. Looks like it only affects
HVCALL_POST_MESSAGE. Other looks good.

Without the patch, the driver can occasionally fail to load.
Also let's retry HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY, though we didn't get
it
before.
Removed 'case -ENOMEM', since the hypervisor doesn't return this.
