Hrm, this is causing build on x86 issues for me. AFAICT, modpost doesn't detect
that this creates a new module dependency on __mod_lruvec_page_state() and so doesn't
refresh vmlinux.symvers.
ERROR: modpost: "__mod_lruvec_page_state" [arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:128: modules-only.symvers] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1769: modules] Error 2

Both gcc and clang yield the same behavior, so I doubt it's the compiler doing
something odd. Cleaning the build makes the problem go away, but that's a poor
band-aid.
If I squash this with the prior patch that adds kvm_account_pgtable_pages() to
kvm_host.h, modpost detects the need to refresh and all is well.
Given that ARM doesn't support building KVM as a module, i.e. can't run afoul
of whatever modpost weirdness I'm hitting, I'm inclined to squash this with the
previous patch and punt on the modpost issue so that we can get this merged.
Any objections? Or thoughts on what's going wrong?
