This is a cleanup that tries to solve two small issues:

 - We don't need a separate kvm_pv_eoi_features variable just to keep a
   constant calculated at compile-time, and this style would require
   adding a separate variable (that's declared twice because of the
   CONFIG_KVM ifdef) for each feature that's going to be enabled/disable
   by machine-type compat code.
 - The pc-1.3 code is setting the kvm_pv_eoi flag on cpuid_kvm_features
   even when KVM is disabled at runtime. This small incosistency in
   the cpuid_kvm_features field isn't a problem today because
   cpuid_kvm_features is ignored by the TCG code, but it may cause
   unexpected problems later when refactoring the CPUID handling code.

This patch eliminates the kvm_pv_eoi_features variable and simply uses
kvm_enabled() inside the enable_kvm_pv_eoi() compat function, so it
enables kvm_pv_eoi only if KVM is enabled. I believe this makes the
behavior of enable_kvm_pv_eoi() clearer and easier to understand.

Subj doesn't match what patch actually does.
Have you meant "Don't set kvm_pv_eoi flag by default if KVM is disabled"?
Although "eliminate kvm_pv_eoi_features variable" might better describe what
patch is doing.

True. The other flags in kvm_default_features may be already set and
will be copied to cpuid_kvm_features even if kvm_enabled() is false.

I had a previous version of this patch that also changed the code using
kvm_default_features to check kvm_enabled(), but I removed that part and
kept only the kvm_pv_eoi_features variable removal.

Andreas, please ignore this patch (it is not necessary anymore as this
series doesn't include machine-type compatibility code for kvm_mmu).
Patches 2-7 don't depend on this patch and should apply cleanly without
it.

I will send a new version later, probably with a separate patch to
ignore kvm_default_features if kvm_enabled() is false (so there's no
need to even check kvm_enabled() inside enable_kvm_pv_eoi()).

I mean: patches 1 and 3-7 don't depend on this patch and can be applied
cleanly without it.
