Removing kvm_x86_ops and kvm_pmu_ops isn't a preqrequisite to making KVM a monolothic module, rather they're enhancements that are made possible *because* KVM is a monolithic module. With that ordering, I suspect the convert->enable->use of kvm_x86_ops can be collapsed into a single patch. > KVM: monolithic: x86: use the external functions instead of kvm_x86_ops > KVM: monolithic: x86: remove exports > KVM: monolithic: remove exports from KVM common code > KVM: monolithic: x86: drop the kvm_pmu_ops structure > KVM: monolithic: x86: inline more exit handlers in vmx.c > KVM: retpolines: x86: eliminate retpoline from vmx.c exit handlers > KVM: retpolines: x86: eliminate retpoline from svm.c exit handlers > x86: retpolines: eliminate retpoline from msr event handlers
