The following must be available without recursion for the function

atomic_inc/dec

In arch/x86/kvm/svm.c, function svm_vcpu_run(), everything between the vmrun instruction and the call to load_host_msrs() is executed without a live pda, so no smp_processor_id(). Could easily be fixed by rearranging things.
