FWIW, I added that last status value labelled "hv" in commit 08f76547f08d. And
to confirm the discussion on the other thread, it's not a hypercall status -- it's a
standard Windows NT status returned by the host-side VMBus or storvsp code.
The "hv" is shorthand for Hyper-V, not hypercall. Perhaps that status is
interpretable in a Windows guest, but it's not really interpretable in a Linux
guest. The hex value would be useful only in the context of a support case
where someone on the host side could be engaged to help with the
interpretation.

I have no strong opinions on the label. Changing it from "hv" to "sts" or
to "host" works for me.
