I'm actually wrong about hv_ prefix now I look a bit further, there are
other structures that do use it for similar hcalls, sorry about that.

I'm not sure I like it too much but it is what it is. I would say don't
worry about churning your hv_ names for now. It's probably better / more 
used than _be postfix. Changing conventions could be a later 
powerpc-wide series if it's that important.
