If we had an empty enable_kvm_pv_eoi() stub, we would need an #ifdef
around the real implementation. I mean, I don't think this:
#ifdef CONFIG_KVM
int enable_kvm_pv_eoi() {
[...]
}
#endif
is any better than this:
int enable_kvm_pv_eoi() {
#ifdef CONFIG_KVM
[...]
#endif
}
So this is probably a good reason to duplicate the KVM_FEATURE_*
#defines in the QEMU code, instead?
