There is a parameter in this function "count". I was checking if there is any possibility
that is passed as 0 by mistake ? this will lead to "remaining" value as 0 and loop will never
execute. Which results using "status" uninitialized later in the function.

Currently its not, I think MSHV_VTL is good for now. Thanks.

If we use --strict switch with checkpatch.pl we observe additional CHECK(s).
I observe 159 CHECK(s) with this patch overall.
(total: 1 errors, 7 warnings, 159 checks, 7460 lines checked)
Few examples:

CHECK: Lines should not end with a '('
#240: FILE: drivers/hv/hv_call.c:73:
+int hv_call_set_vp_registers(

CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
#266: FILE: drivers/hv/hv_call.c:99:
+ memcpy(input_page->elements, registers,
+ sizeof(struct hv_register_assoc) * rep_count);


I also see an error with flexible array, possibly we can fix that as well.

ERROR: Use C99 flexible arrays - see https://docs.kernel.org/process/deprecated.html#zero-length-and-one-element-arrays
#7468: FILE: include/uapi/linux/mshv.h:134:
+ struct mshv_msi_routing_entry entries[0];
+};
