Commit 549d62d889b4 ("KVM: PPC: use definitions in epapr header
for hcalls") from the kvm-ppc tree added an include of =

to the user visible part of asm/kvm_para.h so asm/epapr_hcall.h =

user visible header file.

Any real user-space code that tries to call any of the functions in
epapr_hcall.h will cause an exception.

Claiming that kernel header files that KVM needs are suddenly
user-space header files doesn't make much sense to me, but I guess
it's not my decision.
This is about kvm_host.h, which is the part that is exported to user =
space. It usually contains constants and structs that are required for =
the API.
