why is this so much duplicated code instead of sharing it with
idtentry_vc and all the facilities it does?


Hi Boris:
#VC and #HV use different stack. I try reusing vc code path for #HV doesn't work. I will continue to work on this direction and report back later. In the RFC v4, I still keep the old version and other patches may be reviewed in the parellel.

Thanks.
