That's a shame, register accessors semantically fit in kvm_cache_regs.h,
but taking a step back.. is it even worth having kvm_cache_regs.h
anymore?
At some point I needed to move guest mode helpers out of there too (as
they should be):
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260326031150.3774017-3-yosry@kernel.org/
With this patch and that one, we'd have <200 lines left. Is there a
reason why it can't just be merged with x86.h? I don't see any of the
headers included by x86.h including kvm_cache_regs.h.
