I can do that, I thought this was cleaner as it still retained the
abstraction separated from the mixup of the rest of the vmx/svm code,
but it'll work the same by dropping the abstraction in kvm_ops.h and
just maintaining a common name between the svm.c and vmx.c files, gcc
already built it that way after all.
