I'm not sure whether I really like that. It's yet another additional
#ifdef block, and yet another variable ...

What do you think about removing the enum completely and simply code it
directly, without the ucall_type indirection, i.e.:

void ucall(uint64_t cmd, int nargs, ...)
{
	struct ucall uc = {
		.cmd = cmd,
	};
	va_list va;
	int i;

	nargs = nargs <= UCALL_MAX_ARGS ? nargs : UCALL_MAX_ARGS;

	va_start(va, nargs);
	for (i = 0; i < nargs; ++i)
		uc.args[i] = va_arg(va, uint64_t);
	va_end(va);

#if defined(__x86_64__)

	/* Exit via PIO */
	asm volatile("in %[port], %%al"
		: : [port] "d" (UCALL_PIO_PORT), "D" (&uc) : "rax");

#elif defined(__aarch64__)

	*ucall_exit_mmio_addr = (vm_vaddr_t)&uc;

#elif defined(__s390x__)

	/* Exit via DIAGNOSE 0x501 (normally used for breakpoints) */
	asm volatile ("diag 0,%0,0x501" : : "a"(&uc) : "memory");

#endif
}

I think that's way less confusing than having to understand the meaning
of ucall_type etc. before...?
