The problem is that everyone reading [patch 1/6] thinks you're renaming
hv_device to vm_device or introducing a new struct vm_device. That
makes people annoyed. If you had written the patch description like this:
In the original code, the structs vm_device included a struct
hv_device. This patch moves the members from hv_device directly
into struct vm_device.
The members ->dev_type and ->dev_instance from hv_device were
the same as ->class_id and ->device_id in vm_device so those
were not copied over.
Now that everything is included into vm_device directly,
hv_device is unused and we can delete the definition.
There still might be issues with the patch, but at least you would be
talking about the same thing.
