Just do this in kvm_hypercall().  David didn't say "don't do that", he said "don't
do that in a single patch".  Except for fix_hypercall_test, selftests should always
use the native hypercall instruction and not rely on KVM's patching, e.g. patching
will go sideways if someone gets clever and makes guest code not-writable.

Align parameters.

Curly brace is unnecessary.  Though I think I'd prefer to not duplicate the asm
blob (too many darn inputs).  It's a little ugly, but I prefer it over duplicating
the entire blob.  The approach could also likely be macrofied for other hypercall
usage (future problem).

	asm volatile("test %[use_vmmcall], %[use_vmmcall]\n\t"
		     "jnz 1f\n\t"
		     "vmcall\n\t"
		     "jmp 2f\n\t"
		     "1: vmmcall\n\t"
		     "2:"
		     : "=a"(r)
		     : "a"(nr), "b"(a0), "c"(a1), "d"(a2), "S"(a3),
		       [use_vmmcall] "r" (is_amd_cpu()));
	return r;
