Sounds cool! (not sure that with only two implementations people won't
call it 'over-engineered' but cool). My personal wish would just be that
function names in function implementations are not auto-generated so
e.g. a simple 'git grep vmx_hardware_setup' works but the way how we
fill vmx_x86_ops in can be macroed I guess.
