A few vendor callbacks are only used by VMX, but they return an integer

NULL in struct kvm_x86_ops, it will be changed to __static_call_return0
when updating static calls.

Can you opportunistically align the indentation and drop the outer parantheses? I.e.

return is_guest_mode(vcpu) &&
static_call(kvm_x86_guest_apic_has_interrupt)(vcpu);

Hmm, I like having the parentheses (despite "return not being a function") because editors are inconsistent in what indentation to use after return.

Some use a tab (which does the right thing just by chance with Linux because "return " is as long as a tab is wide), but vim for example does the totally awkward

int f()
{
return a &&
b;
}

Of course I can fix the indentation.

This doesn't compile, it needs a semicolon.
