No extern please, it's superfluous and against KVM style.  Moot point though, see
below.

Wrap the params, no reason to make this line so long.

This is unnecessarily fragile and confusing at first glance.  Compilers are smart
enough to generate a non-inline version of functions if they're used for function
pointers, while still inlining where appropriate.  In other words, just drop
kvm_get_guest_cr3() entirely, a al get_pdptr => kvm_pdptr_read().
