Would you be fine with the following addition:
This is in preparation of reducing the paravirt include hell by
splitting paravirt.h into multiple more fine grained header files,
which will in turn require to split up the pv_ops vector as well.
Dropping the pre-filled array makes life easier for objtool to
detect missing initializers in multiple pv_ops_ arrays.
