My strong preference is to avoid the unnecessary ifdef and instead do:

kvm-intel-y             += vmx/vmx.o vmx/vmenter.o vmx/pmu_intel.o vmx/vmcs12.o \
                           vmx/nested.o vmx/posted_intr.o

kvm-intel-$(CONFIG_X86_SGX_KVM) += vmx/sgx.o
kvm-intel-$(CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV)  += vmx/hyperv.o vmx/hyperv_evmcs.o

kvm-amd-y               += svm/svm.o svm/vmenter.o svm/pmu.o svm/nested.o svm/avic.o \
                           svm/sev.o
kvm-amd-$(CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV)    += svm/hyperv.o


CONFIG_HYPERV needs an ifdef because it can be 'y' or 'm', but otherwise ifdefs
just tend to be noisier.

This fails to build with CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV=n && CONFIG_KVM_WERROR=y:

arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c:3577:9: error: variable 'evmptrld_status' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
        if (CC(evmptrld_status == EVMPTRLD_VMFAIL))
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sadly, simply wrapping with an #ifdef also fails because then evmptrld_status
becomes unused.  I'd really prefer to avoid having to tag it __maybe_unused, and
adding more #ifdef would also be ugly.  Any ideas?
