Hi,

I'm fine moving it to a new header. I had put it right above
'struct kvm_x86_ops' in arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h, such
that it would be updated along with kvm_x86_ops changes. But
I can put a big comment there to update the new header.

Looking at the vmx definitions I see quite a few that don't
match that naming. For example:

hardware_unsetup,
hardware_enable,
hardware_disable,
report_flexpriority,
update_exception_bitmap,
enable_nmi_window,
enable_irq_window,
update_cr8_intercept,
pi_has_pending_interrupt,
cpu_has_vmx_wbinvd_exit,
pi_update_irte,
kvm_complete_insn_gp,

So I'm not sure if we want to extend these macros to
vmx/svm.

Thanks,
