Argh!  Third time's a charm?  Hopefully...

No, because the shorter line generates an input to the longer line.  E.g. we could
do this if we really, really want an xmas tree:

	struct kvm_tdx *kvm_tdx = to_kvm_tdx(vcpu->kvm);
	struct kvm *kvm = vcpu->kvm;

but this won't compile

	struct kvm_tdx *kvm_tdx = to_kvm_tdx(kvm);
	struct kvm *kvm = vcpu->kvm;
