This leaves the system in a broken state. It can break bisection.
Can yo try this:
Patch 1: rename hv_call_deposit_pages to hv_call_deposit_pages_old,
and then hv_call_deposit_pages calls the _old variant.
Patch 2: introduce the new scheme.
Patch 3: drop the _old variant.
Hopefully this can make the diff more reviewable.
If this proves to be not as useful as I think, I can squash both patches
when I apply the patch series.
