Okay, just had a look at how this works with kvm_x86_ops, because my suggestion needs the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kvm_pmu_ops), which is better also avoided. So how about putting the pmu-ops directly into the kvm_x86_ops as a (const) member, or alternativly as an additional parameter to kvm_init? This still saves us the access functions.
