Currently the vcpu struct is still internal to the lib/ directory (as
defined in lib/kvm_util_internal.h).  Wit that, it seems the vcpu fd
should also be limited to the lib/ as well?

But I feel like I got your point, because when I worked on the
selftests I did notice that in many places it's easier to expose all
these things for test cases (e.g., the struct vcpu).  For me, it's not
only for the vcpu fd, but also for the rest of internal structures to
be able to be accessed from tests directly.  Not sure whether that's
what you thought too.  It's just a separate topic of what this series
was trying to do.

Thanks,
