Subject: RE: [PATCH 7/9] KVM: SVM: Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value
 through all of KVM

Adding Microsoft's Nuno Das Neves to the "To:" line since he
originated the work to keep the Linux headers such as hvgdk.h in
sync with the Windows counterparts from which they originate.

Is there a reason for making this Hyper-V code just "u", while
making the SVM_VMGEXIT_* values "ull"? I don't think
"u" vs. "ull" shouldn't make any difference when assigning to a
u64, but the inconsistency piqued my interest ....
