I'd suggest moving hv_setup_vmbus_handler() and
hv_remove_vmbus_handler() above or below the group
of __weak stubs in this source code file. There's a comment
describing the purpose of these __weak functions, and
intermixing these two functions that are no longer __weak
produces something of a jumble.

Is it necessary to test vmbus_handler first? From what I can
see, it is always set before the per-cpu interrupt is setup.

These operations should be reordered so they are the inverse
of how they are setup. I.e., free_percpu_irq() first, then remove
the VMBus handler. That's just good standard practice unless
there's a specific reason to do the cleanup ordering differently. In
fact, hv_remove_vmbus_handler() needs to be moved down
to the err_setup label so it's done if request_percpu_irq()
fails.

Ordering should be changed here as well so it is the inverse
of how things are set up.
