+.Nd Hyper-V Virtual Machine Bus (VMBus) Driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in
+the system kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device hyperv"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+provides a high performance communication interface between
+guest and root partitions in Hyper-V.
+Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization technology from Microsoft.
+Hyper-V supports isolation in terms of a partition.
+A partition is a
+logical unit of isolation, supported by the hypervisor, in which
+operating systems execute.
+.Pp
+The Microsoft hypervisor must have at least one parent, or root,
+partition, running Windows Server operating system.
+The virtualization stack runs in the parent partition and has
+direct access to the hardware devices.
+The root partition then creates the child partitions which host
+the guest operating systems.
+.Pp
+Child partitions do not have direct access to other hardware resources
+and are presented
+a virtual view of the resources, as virtual devices (VDevs).
+Requests to the virtual devices are
+redirected either via the VMBus or the hypervisor to the devices in
+the parent partition, which handles the requests.
+.Pp
+The VMBus is a logical inter-partition communication channel.
+The parent partition hosts Virtualization Service Providers (VSPs)
+which communicate over the VMBus to handle device access requests from
+child partitions.
+Child partitions host Virtualization Service
+Consumers (VSCs) which redirect device requests to VSPs in the parent
+partition via the VMBus.
+The Hyper-V VMBus driver defines and implements
+the interface that facilitate high performance bi-directional communication
+between the VSCs and VSPs.
+All VSCs utilize the VMBus driver.
