cppcheck spotted this - and while it has a lot of false positives in its 
current version,
I do think that the kernel code around that line can be improved:


        longmode = is_long_mode(vcpu) && cs_l == 1;

        if (!longmode) {
                param = ((u64)kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RDX) << 32) |
                        (kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX) & 0xffffffff);
                ingpa = ((u64)kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RBX) << 32) |
                        (kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RCX) & 0xffffffff);
                outgpa = ((u64)kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RDI) << 32) |
                        (kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RSI) & 0xffffffff);
        }
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
        else {
                param = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RCX);
                ingpa = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RDX);
                outgpa = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_R8);
        }
#endif

        code = param & 0xffff;



If CONFIG_X86_64 is not defined then the condition "if (!longmode)" is either 
superfluous
or lacks an else branch, right ?
