What about a dependency?  Isn't this dead code without CONFIG_KVM=y/m?

The point is that this could be:

	return !!seamrr_mask;

What happens if the BIOS doesn't do this?  What actually breaks?  In
other words, do we *NEED* error checking here?

That's fine, or just add a comment or a changelog sentence about this
being filled out later.
