Hi!

This patch series causes a build failure here:

arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c: In function ‘hardware_setup’:
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:7752:34: error: ‘hv_remote_flush_tlb’ undeclared (first use in this function)
7752 | vmx_x86_ops.tlb_remote_flush = hv_remote_flush_tlb;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:7752:34: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Also this:
