Well, I hate to say it, but the resulting code doesn't look too well
(all the kvm_x86 variables), and it's entirely my fault as I recommended
this approach.  Not like it was difficult to predict.

I'm thinking again of

    struct kvm {
        struct kvm_arch a;
        ...
    }

Where each arch defines its own kvm_arch.  Now the changes look like a
bunch of "kvm->blah" to "kvm->a.blah" conversions.

IIRC a downside was mentioned that it is easier to cause a build failure
for another arch now.

Opinions?  In theory correctness should win over style every time, no?
