Good catch. Thanks for spotting that.

The feedback I thought I got in v1 was that this could be useful for
other architectures too.
But given that the current series only implements it for x86, I guess
it's fair for it to be out of common KVM for now.
I will move it back into x86's implementation.

Thanks for the very quick reviews.
