Per the discussion in v1 of this patch set, if the number of pages that should 
be
deposited in a particular situation is different from what this function 
provides,
the fallback is to use hv_call_deposit_pages() directly. From what I see, 
there's
only one such fallback case after a hypercall failure -- in 
hv_do_map_gpa_hcall().
The other uses of hv_call_deposit_pages() are initial deposits when creating a
VP or partition.

But if hv_call_deposit_pages() is used directly, the logic added here to detect
insufficient root memory and deposit to HV_PARTITION_ID_SELF isn't applied.
So if the hypercall in hv_do_map_gpa_hcall() fails with insufficient root
memory, the deposit is done to the wrong partition ID. If that case can
actually happen, then some additional logic is needed in
hv_do_map_gpa_hcall() to handle it. Or there needs to be a fallback
function that contains the logic.

Other than that, everything else in this patch set looks good to me.
