This is wrong. You are introducing a NULL pointer dereference.

This comment is no longer needed in the new world.

But, are you sure you're modifying the correct piece of code?

hv_pci_remove is not a hook in the base bus type. It is used in struct
hv_driver.

The same comment applies to all other modifications.

Thanks,
Wei.
