Could you please split out this last part into its own change?

Nit: If I'm not missing anything, $info is set if and only if there is
no error. So we could restructure the code here as follows:

Then the error handling is tight near the prepare call and we can easily
get away with just one exec_hookscript() call (just inject the
additional param for the mdev||nvidia case.
