Oh, here's another issue I forgot about.  You can get rid of the 'ext'
field of the hv_device structure and use the proper function in the
driver core for this type of thing, just wrap it up in your own function
to make it "sane" looking, like USB and PCI does with their
usb_get_intfdata(), usb_set_intfdata(), pci_get_drvdata(), and
pci_set_drvdata() functions.
