Sorry for late reply.

I think you just need to mimic hardware_enable_all() -- using a per-cpu
variable. In this way you can get rid of this structure.

But again, we have listed a couple of options in the v13 discussion [1]:

1) Call kvm_ops_update() twice before and after hardware_setup() in order to use
hardware_enable_all() directly.

2) Expose kvm_x86_ops as symbol so VMX can set hardware_{enable|disable}()
callback before hardware_setup() in order to use hardware_enable_all().

3) Implement VMX's own hardware_enable_all() logic as shown in this patch.

4) ???

I think it would be better if Sean can provide some comments here, but until he
does, we can keep using option 3) (this patch).
