Title:
  Hyper-V: enable all hv drivers and export them in the initramfs

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As of kernel 3.2, all of drivers (except for the storage driver)
  required to be able to run Ubuntu as a guest image in a Microsoft
  Hyper-V environment have exited the staging tree of the kernel, and
  are now present in the following locations:

  a.       hv_timesource: Merged with general CPU detection code.

  b.      hv_vmbus: Moved to drivers/hv. Provides general vmbus
  functionality.

  c.       hv_utils: Moved to drivers/hv. Provides kvp, timesync,
  shutdown, and heartbeat.

  d.      hv_netvsc:  Moved to drivers/net/hyperv. Provides synthetic
  network access.

  e.      hv_mouse: Moved to drivers/hid. Provides synthetic mouse
  access.

  f.        hv_storvsc: Still in drivers/staging/hv. Minor fixes still
  being hammered out (see
  http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-January/024012.html
  for more details on remaining fixes)

  For the Ubuntu 12.04 kernel please ensure that:

  1.       Drivers are added to the install initrd so users have access
  to all synthetic devices during installation

  2.       Drivers are automatically installed by default in the
  installed initrd (so no rebuilding is necessary)
