I don't share this fear of function calls, but perhaps that's due to 
lack of experience with kdump.

If you want to be extra simple and safe, remove kvm from the equation.  
Make the disabling code part of kdump/emergency_restart and only rely on 
the convention that cr3.vmxe == vmxon.

That has the advantage of working with other virtualization systems as well.
