There has been a great deal of effort to keep vhost and kvm untangled. One example is the memory translation it has to do, another one is the eventfd/irqfd thing it does just so it could signal an IRQ in the guest instead of accessing the guest directly.
Actually, CONFIG_VHOST_NET doesn't even depend on CONFIG_KVM, so your patch will break build when (CONFIG_VHOST_NET=y && CONFIG_KVM=n). -- Sasha.
