It is intentional that KVM-related things are compiled out completely
if !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM), because then it's also not necessary to have

# define fred_sysvec_kvm_posted_intr_ipi                NULL
# define fred_sysvec_kvm_posted_intr_wakeup_ipi         NULL
# define fred_sysvec_kvm_posted_intr_nested_ipi         NULL

in arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h. The full conflict resultion is

and it seems to be a net improvement to me.  The #ifs match in
the .h and .c files, and there are no unnecessary initializers
in the sysvec_table.
