Maybe I misunderstood. When you said this:

I thought you meant that all architectures would use the syscall
interface, and x86 would only continue to support the ioctls as a legacy
interface. In that case, I think kvm_main.c would basically need a rename
to kvm_ioctl.c, and it would be built only for x86 so wouldn't need any
portability.
