What about adding a dedicated .h file for this beast?  Then it won't be so
painful to do one function per line.  As is, updates to kvm_x86_ops will be
messy.

And add yet another macro layer (or maybe just tweak this one?) so that the
caller controls the line ending?  I suppose you could also just use a comma, but
that's a bit dirty...

That would also allow using this to declare vmx_x86_ops and svm_x86_ops, which
would need a comma insteat of a semi-colon.  There have a been a few attempts to
add a bit of automation to {vmx,svm}_x86_ops, this seems like it would be good
motivation to go in a different direction and declare/define all ops, e.g. the
VMX/SVM code could simply do something like:

#define DECLARE_VMX_X86_OP(func) \
	.func = vmx_##func

static struct kvm_x86_ops vmx_x86_ops __initdata = {
	.vm_size = sizeof(struct kvm_vmx),
	.vm_init = vmx_vm_init,

	.pmu_ops = &intel_pmu_ops,
	.nested_ops = &vmx_nested_ops,

	FOREACH_KVM_X86_OPS(DECLARE_VMX_X86_OP)
};
