Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The `completed` variable is evaluated from `status` before the asynchronous completion handler updates it, leading to a stale completion count and an infinite loop.

mshv: add SEV-SNP isolated page hypercalls

Add helpers for importing isolated pages and completing isolated
imports.  These are used by SEV-SNP guest launch flows to transfer
isolated page state to the hypervisor.

[Severity: High]
If the hypercall returns HV_STATUS_CALL_PENDING, the completion_handler updates
the status variable, but the completed variable was already evaluated from the
initial status.

Could this lead to completed being 0 (or a stale value), which would then
prevent gpa and remaining from advancing correctly?

[Severity: High]
If completed is not updated after the completion handler executes, does this
result in an infinite loop since remaining will not decrease?
