Heh, KVM has a *lot* of code that was written with questionable style.  I agree
with Marc, I can't think of a single reason not to have the definition in common
code.  Declaring the function doesn't preclude a "static inline" implementation,
and we could even keep the prototype under an #ifdef, e.g. 

diff --git a/include/linux/kvm_host.h b/include/linux/kvm_host.h
