Are you actually altering what kinfo points to?

Why not simply "!v"?

Also, while in the cover letter you state a dependency on another series,
this is somewhat unwieldy here. From the titles there I can't deduce which
of the patches would introduce vcpu_guest_cpu_user_regs(). Yet I would
have wanted to double check that it doesn't de-reference v already.

These all return void, despite this also being used for non-Dom0. Is it
really fatal to a dom0less system if one out of many domains fail to be
built? Especially when, despite the name, there is a Dom0?

And no error is indicated to the caller?

dprintk() at most, and if so, then please use %pv.

This is a boolean field, so the rhs wants to be "true".
