Why not put them in arch specific header?

KVM_DEV_TYPE_* is not an arch-specific enumeration -- this was discussed last time around.

KVM_DEV_MPIC_* could go elsewhere if you want to avoid cluttering the main kvm.h. The arch header would be OK, since the non-arch header includes the arch header, and thus it wouldn't be visible to userspace where it is -- if there later is a need for MPIC (or whatever other device follows MPIC's example) on another architecture, it could be moved without breaking anything. Or, we could just have a header for each device type.
