It looks a little it weird.  If other file wants to include
<asm/kvm_host.h> (directly or via <linux/kvm_host.h>) unconditionally then
in general I think <asm/kvm_host.h> or <linux/kvm_host.h> should
have something like:

	#ifdef CONFIG_KVM

	void func(void);
	...

	#else

	static inline void func(void) {}

	#endif

But it seems neither <asm/kvm_host.h> nor <linux/kvm_host.h> has this
pattern.

I tried to build with !CONFIG_KVM with patch 2 in this series, and I got
below error:

In file included from ./include/linux/kvm_host.h:45,
                 from arch/x86/events/intel/core.c:17:
./arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h:1617:9: error: unknown type name
‘cpu_emergency_virt_cb’
 1617 |         cpu_emergency_virt_cb *emergency_disable;
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Looking at the code, it seems it is because intel_guest_get_msrs() needs
'struct kvm_pmu' (e.g., it accesses the members of 'struct kvm_pmu').  But
it doesn't look the relevant code should be compiled when !CONFIG_KVM. 

So looks a better way is to explicitly use #ifdef CONFIG_KVM around the
relevant code in the arch/x86/events/intel/core.c?

And it seems vfio does it in vfio_main.c:

	#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
	#include <linux/kvm_host.h>
	#endif

	#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
	void vfio_device_get_kvm_safe(struct vfio_device *device, 
			struct kvm *kvm)
	{
		...
	}
	...
	#endif


The only remaining weird thing is 'struct kvm *kvm' is still used
unconditionally in vfio_main.c, but I think the reason it builds fine with
!CONFIG_KVM is because <linux/vfio.h> declares it explicitly:

	struct kvm;
	struct iommufd_ctx;
	...

So it seems to me that this patch around 'cpu_emergency_virt_cb' is more
like a workaround of existing non-perfect <linux/kvm_host.h> and/or
<asm/kvm_host.h>?
