.. as "nopv" support needs it to be changeable at boot up stage.
Checkpatch reports warning, so move variable declarations from
hypervisor.c to hypervisor.h

PVH guest needs PV extentions to work, so "nopv" parameter should be
ignored for PVH but not for HVM guest.
If PVH guest boots up via the Xen-PVH boot entry, xen_pvh is set early,
we know it's PVH guest and ignore "nopv" parameter directly.
If PVH guest boots up via the normal boot entry same as HVM guest, it's
hard to distinguish PVH and HVM guest at that time. In this case, we
have to panic early if PVH is detected and nopv is enabled to avoid a
worse situation later.
Remove static from bool_x86_init_noop/x86_op_int_noop so they could be
used globally. Move xen_platform_hvm() after xen_hvm_guest_late_init()
to avoid compile error.

It is being referenced from arch/x86/kernel/cpu/hypervisor.c

But wasn't it also removed from the list of externs?
Rereading the .h file, no it wasn't. I missed that.
Perhaps the extern list could be reordered to move this
x86_hyper_xen_hvm to be next to x86_hyper_type.
I also suggest that "extern bool nopv" might be a bit
non-specific and could use a longer identifier.

You are a little bit late. It has been this way since V5 of the series
posted on July 3rd.
I have pushed the series to my tree already and I'm about to send the
pull request.
Followup patches welcome. :-)
