If CONFIG_KVM is not set, kvm_enabled() is always zero, so the function
would never be called, so I find the ifdef-less code more readable and
obvious.

What I don't know is if we should do this:

  #ifdef CONFIG_KVM
  
  static int kvm_check_features_against_host(...)
  {
      /* real implementation here */
  }
  
  static int kvm_do_something_else(...)
  {
      /* real implementation here */
  }
  
  /* Other kvm_* functions here */
  
  #else
  
  static int kvm_check_features_against_host(...)
  {
  }
  
  static int kvm_do_something_else(...)
  {
  }
  
  /* Other kvm_* stubs here */
  
  #endif /* CONFIG_KVM */


Or this:

  static int kvm_check_features_against_host(...)
  {
  #ifdef CONFIG_KVM
      /* real implementation here */
  #endif /* CONFIG_KVM */
  }
  
  static int kvm_do_something_else(...)
  {
  #ifdef CONFIG_KVM
      /* real implementation here */
  #endif /* CONFIG_KVM */
  }


I believe the latter is better, but based on Gleb's comments about
enable_kvm_pv_eoi(), he seems to prefer the former.
