This will break compilation on hosts with older kernel headers. To ease
the merge with QEMU, do_inject_mce should call qemu_inject_x86_mce,
which does nothing for the case where KVM is disabled, or call KVM
specific function otherwise (knowledge about struct kvm_x86_mce should
be contained within KVM code).

Have to #ifdef KVM_CAP_MCE where appropriate, otherwise compilation 
on hosts with older kernel headers fail.
