The above define is not used in this patch. Besides can you explain what

shouldn't we escalate the alloc failure and fail the vcpu creation
instead of checking everywhere that apf is !null which is error prone.
By the way I saw that on x86 this is a struct included in the vcpu one
instead of a poinnter.

can you explain why this is needed?

don't you need some locking mechanism to void that vdsei fields change
after that check? At the moment we may have a single SDEI num but
nothing prevents from adding others in the future, right?

x86 code does not have those kvm_err(). You may simply drop them.
