The transformation just by itself is clearly not "no functional
change"; it is together with the prior if(), but it took me a
little to convince myself. I don't recall why VCPU_TRAP_NONE was
used here originally (possibly just because of it being zero),
but I think the latest now it would be better to use
VCPU_TRAP_LAST + 1 instead, as 0 now has an actual meaning.

How about

    union {
#define VCPU_TRAP_NMI          0
#define VCPU_TRAP_MCE          1
#define VCPU_TRAP_LAST         VCPU_TRAP_MCE
        struct async_event_state {
            bool    pending;
            uint8_t old_mask;
        } async_event[VCPU_TRAP_LAST + 1];
        struct {
            struct async_event_state nmi;
            struct async_event_state mce;
        };
    };

(structure tag subject to improvement)?
