Not really, because kvm_allowed _can_ be used from once-compiled files. 
  The attached patch makes kvm-all.c be compiled always, even if 
!CONFIG_KVM; functions that require kvm are almost always omitted for 
now (so checking kvm_enabled() is required to call them).  However, 
kvm_init is stubbed so that vl.c can call it.

In the future we could add more stubbing and ultimately do this 
unconditionally:

    #define kvm_enabled() kvm_allowed

With this patch vl.c can already be compiled once, but I did not include 
it because it would conflict with my balloon.c series; I'm doing enough 
rebasing these days.  Also, qemu-kvm is a bit behind qemu and all these 
patches are nightmares for the merges, so it's better IMO if things are 
left to calm down a bit.

Poisoning kvm_enabled is right, but poisoning kvm_allowed is overkill.

Subject: [PATCH] provide a stub version of kvm-all.c if !CONFIG_KVM

This allows limited use of kvm functions (which will return ENOSYS)
even in once-compiled modules.  The patch also improves a bit the error
messages for KVM initialization.

Having kvm-all.c compile with and without CONFIG_KVM is pretty ugly IMHO.

Is compiling vl.c once really that important of a goal?  Wouldn't it be 
better to split bits out of vl.c and have those compile once?  Ideally, 
vl.c should be so small that compiling per-target shouldn't matter.

I didn't do this to compile vl.c once.  I don't care about that.

I did this as an initial step towards having kvm functions stubbed out 
for !CONFIG_KVM, instead of relying on GCC performing 
dead-code-elimination on kvm_enabled().

I'd prefer a kvm-stub.c implementation as opposed to mixing in 
CONFIG_KVM in kvm-all.c

But the only thing preventing compiling whole vl.c once is just KVM
init. I'll send a new patch, hopefully it's better.

I tried it, but our build system makes it a mess because 
compile-once-only can only be done using what once were static 
libraries.  All files from there are added blindly:

    obj-y += $(addprefix ../, $(common-obj-y))
    obj-y += $(addprefix ../libdis/, $(libdis-y))
    obj-y += $(libobj-y)
    obj-y += $(addprefix $(HWDIR)/, $(hw-obj-y))

I'll try something.
