No, not really.  The headers which currently define the native versions 
of the inline functions  need to include paravirt.h (as they currently 
do).   In fact, there are very few places which actually care about the 
definitions in paravirt_types.h as opposed to the inline functions; the 
main reason for the split was to do make paravirt tracing possible (but 
that's not ready yet, as we haven't come to a satisfactory conclusion 
about the rcu include in tracepoint.h).
