I took a closer look at how this is used and noticed that there
is both the DEVICE_OBJECT typedef and struct device_context.
While I don't understand the reason for the split, my feeling
is that the contents of DEVICE_OBJECT should really be moved into
device_context and that one be renamed to hv_device.
