I added Janosch as second S390 KVM maintainer in case he wants to chime
in.

Hmm, I guess one could re-use the same struct for another such KVM
dependency but I lean towards the same thinking as Matt, for now this
is for zpci so stay specific we can always generalize later.

Nit: For me hook and register together sound a bit redudant, maybe
"zpci_kvm_register"? Also question for Matt as a native speaker, should
it rather be "registration" when used as a noun here?

I do wonder if this needs to be opague "struct zpci_dev" should be
defined even if CONFIG_PCI is unset.

Analogous to zpci_kvm_regist(er|ration) I would call the variable
simply zpci_kvm i.e. the type is a registration and the variable is the
instance of it that links zpci and kvm.

I'm fine with a separate file, pci.c is long enough as it is. I also
don't have a problem with having it maintained as part of S390 PCI but
logically I think it does fall more under arch/kvm/pci* so one could
argue it should be added in the MAINTAINERS file in that section.
If you change the struct name as I proposed above I would probably go
with "pci_kvm_register.c"

Yes I agree, overall this looks good to me though I'm admittedly not
very knowledgable about how to best handle module dependencies like
this. It does look cleaner than the symbol_get() alternative we
discussed.
