There is maybe even a simpler solution than that, see below ...

Do we still need that? cpu.h should theoretically be independent from
kvm now, shouldn't it? And for the .c files, it's likely better to
include kvm_s390x.h directly there if they require it.

May I suggest to simply use this instead:

struct kvm_s390_irq;

No need to switch for a typedef here, you can simply use this anonymous
struct declaration, I think.
