There's no reason for the architectures to declare
kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlbs() in their own headers. Hence to
avoid this duplication, make the declaration global, leaving
the architectures to define only __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_FLUSH_REMOTE_TLBS
as needed.

Is the declaration inconsistent to that in arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h?
In order to keep them consistent, I guess we need move kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlbs()
from x86's header file to arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c and 'inline' needs to be dropped.

Unsure of the original intentions, I didn't want to disturb any
existing arrangements. If more people agree to this refactoring, I'm
happy to move.

This is amazing to me. This change can be compiled without any error 
even if the declaration inconsistent between the kvm_host.h and x86's 
header file.

I'm curious which option make it possible?
