Huh? What version of source code are you looking at??

The file being moved by this patch should be
drivers/staging/unisys/visorbus/visorchipset.c in your staging-next branch  
(https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/tree/drivers/staging/unisys/visorbus/visorchipset.c?h=staging-next).
If you look there, you will NOT find "Billy()", but instead "controlvm_respond()", i.e.:

static void
controlvm_init_response(struct controlvm_message *msg,
			struct controlvm_message_header *msg_hdr, int response)
{
	memset(msg, 0, sizeof(struct controlvm_message));
	memcpy(&msg->hdr, msg_hdr, sizeof(struct controlvm_message_header));
	msg->hdr.payload_bytes = 0;
	msg->hdr.payload_vm_offset = 0;
	msg->hdr.payload_max_bytes = 0;
	if (response < 0) {
		msg->hdr.flags.failed = 1;
		msg->hdr.completion_status = (u32)(-response);
	}
}

static void
controlvm_respond(struct controlvm_message_header *msg_hdr, int response)
{
	struct controlvm_message outmsg;

	controlvm_init_response(&outmsg, msg_hdr, response);
	if (outmsg.hdr.flags.test_message == 1)
		return;

	if (!visorchannel_signalinsert(controlvm_channel,
				       CONTROLVM_QUEUE_REQUEST, &outmsg)) {
		return;
	}
}

One (or both) of us is confused.
