If we're going to do this, let's do all of x86/kvm in one patch, i.e. clean up
VMX and SVM too.

I generally don't like checkpatch-initiated cleanups, but I vote to go ahead with
this one.  I look at the params just often enough that not having to parse the
#defines would add real value for me.

Any objections?
