Agreed.

If you can move handle_ud to x86.c, then it makes sense to have the
module parameter in the kvm module.  I haven't checked.

Otherwise you would have to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL the variable; in the end
it's just a debugging tool, so it'd be simpler to just add it separately
to kvm_intel and kvm_amd.
