Unrelated to your patch but I think we can make the naming of some of
these functions more consistend on SVM/VMX, in particular I'd suggest 

has_svm() -> cpu_has_svm_support()
is_disabled -> svm_disabled_by_bios()
...
(see below for VMX)

+	return kvm_init(&svm_init_ops, sizeof(struct vcpu_svm),
 			__alignof__(struct vcpu_svm), THIS_MODULE);
 }

Preaching to the choir on this one.  The VMX functions without prefixes in
in particular annoy me to no end, e.g. hardware_setup().  Though the worst
is probably ".vcpu_create = vmx_create_vcpu", if I had a nickel for every
time I've tried to find vmx_vcpu_create()...

What if we added a macro to auto-generate the common/required hooks?  E.g.:

  static struct kvm_x86_ops vmx_x86_ops __ro_after_init = {
	MANDATORY_KVM_X86_OPS(vmx),

	.pmu_ops = &intel_pmu_ops,

	...
  };

That'd enforce consistent naming, and would provide a bit of documentation
as to which hooks are optional, e.g. many of the nested hooks, and which
must be defined for KVM to function.
