Hyper-V & Linux Integeration Services

Question

I've been hacking for the majority of the day at getting LIS working on Arch, and any tips would be helpful.
I'm not fantastic at working with the under belly of linux, and usually I'm dependent on forums/guides.  This one has me stumped.
From what I can gather, LIS drivers has been included into the Linux Kernel around 2.6.35.  Arch being on 36, should then have these drivers. 
For the most part, it seems to, as the Integrated Shutdown feature works.  However, I can't seem to get the mouse in X to work with remote desktop.  This appears to be because the system doesn't know how to recognize "Enlightened" drivers.  Therefore, I've attempted to install the LIS drivers using the package available on Microsoft's website. 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d … b5b9b64551
When I go to make the drivers, a series of errors pop up  in reference to osd.c & osd.o
So I attempted a different approach, I tried installing Xen's Satori drivers. 
http://www.xen.org/download/satori.html
When I go to do this, I get the error vmbus driver not installed.
Thus, my question is two part...
1) has anyone successfully installed LIS for Arch and gotten the "Enlightened" drivers to work
2) (now this is where my poor understanding of linux shows) Would it be possible for me to 'inject' vmbus.ko into the kernel drivers?  If so, how would I go about doing this.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have brought this problem as far as I can, but for reference's sake, I want to document what I've done for anyone else looking to do this. 
First I updated all of the make files and the setup script to reflect changes in the linux kernel from when Satori was originally released.  Microsoft's Linux Integrated Services placed the hyperv drivers in /kernel/drivers/vmbus/ whereas once these drivers were integrated into the kernel they are now located in /kernel/drivers/staging/hv/.  Also, the modules were named differently, for instance vmbus.ko in Satori is now hv_vmbus.ko
./setup.pl
    Changed line 57 to reflect the proper name of the hyperv drivers in the linux kernel. 
    From
        if (!CheckModule("vmbus.ko")) {
    To
        if (!CheckModule("hv_vmbus.ko")) {
    Changed line 67 to reflect the proper location of the hyperv drivers in the linux kernel.
    From
        my $modulepath = "/lib/modules/" . $kernel_rel . "/kernel/drivers/vmbus/" . $module;
    To
        my $modulepath = "/lib/modules/" . $kernel_rel . "/kernel/drivers/staging/hv/" . $module;
./dist/Makefile
    Changed line 25 to reflect the proper location of the hyperv drivers
    From
        INSTALL_DIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/vmbus
    To
        INSTALL_DIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/hv
./dist/inputvsc/Makefile
    Changed line 12 to reflect the proper location of the hyperv drivers
    From
        VMBUSDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/vmbus
    To
        VMBUSDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/hv
Once these references were changed, this allowed the setup script to properly detect that the hyperv drivers were installed correctly.  The first thing the script attempts to do is build the HID driver.  With the hid drivers included with the Satori cd, this has compile errors with hid-input.c.  On a whim, I replaced hid-input.c with the file included in kernel version 2.6.36.3 which is the kernel version running on my arch VM. 
By doing this the HID driver builds successfully, but a new error occurs.
    cp: cannot stat '/lib/modules/2.6.36-ARCH/kernel/drivers/staging/hv/Module*.symvers' No such file or directory
To clear this warning I commented out the following lines
./dist/inputvsc/Makefile
Line 40 & 41
    #cp -f $(VMBUSDIR)/Module*.symvers $(PWD)/vmbus.symvers
    #cat $(PWD)/hid.symvers $(PWD)/vmbus.symvers > $(PWD)/Modules.symvers   
This allows the setup script to progress to installing inputvsc driver, however a new compile error occurs This new error yells about osd.c
Like the last compile error, I attempted to fix the error by replacing the old file with the new one out of the kernel I replaced  ./dist/vmbus/osd.c with osd.c out of 2.6.36.3. This unfortunately did not fix the issue.
At this point I am not a good enough coder to debug why the file compiling is failing.  As a side note I did all of these steps with OpenSUSE, and I was able to progress a little farther (replacing files with 2.6.34.7 rather than 2.6.34.7)  and I started to get errors involving VmbusApi.H in reference to inputvsc_drv.c
Since inputvsc_drv.c is not apart of the kernel and was written by Citrix, there was no newer file to replace it with, and once again I gave up due to being unable to troubleshoot complex compiling issues.
I did some googling to see if the inputvsc driver is going to get included with the kernel at any point but couldn't find any information.  I guess at this point I'll just run arch on virtualbox and be happy with it.
