Is it allowed to copy hyper-v drivers from FreeBSD 10 and packed it into FreeBSD 9.2

[Hongjiang Zhang]

Hi,

Some people, who used FreeBSD 9.2 and back-port network driver for Hyper-v from FreeBSD 10, encountered a network issue. They installed 2 VM (FreeBSD 9.2 with the customized FreeBSD kernel) on Azure. Network went offline very soon when the big file (~320M byte) is copied from one VM to anther through "scp". If TSO is disabled through "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.tso=0", this issue will be alleviated but cannot be eliminated. I did not figure out why.

I have checked the release notes of FreeBSD 9.2/9.3/10, but did not find anything which blocked the back-port. It is supposed 9.2 allows the back-ported Hyper-v drivers from 10. Is this assumption correct?
