So that I'm fine with, the bit I'm more worried about is the bit where
inside the if () we call functions (like sev_get_cbit_position )  which
we know the compiler will elide; I'm sure any sane compiler will,
but.....

Looking at your example, in cpu.c there's still places that ifdef around
areas with tcg_enabled.
