A way around that would be to move the declarations from asm/kvm_host.h to x86.h,
and then kvm_complete_hypercall_exit() can be inlined (or not), without having to
deal with the kvm_host.h ordering issues.

IMO, KVM x86 would ideally put as much as possible in x86.h.  The vast majority
of KVM x86's exports are intended only for the vendor modules.  Declaring those
exports in kvm_host.h is effectively bleeding KVM internals to the broader kernel.

I'll go that route for the series, assuming it works as I intend :-)
