The other members of the struct are all hypercall parameters (or flags)
while the 'bool ex' is our way of handling ExProcessorMasks within the
same method.

Besides, in kvm_hv_hypercall() passing it as a 3rd argument looks
better than setting 'hc.ex = true' and than immediately calling the
method :-).

Makes sense. Changed.

Thanks for your reviews.
