Probably makes sense to place this above "struct kvm_vcpu_xen" right away to
avoid the (very minor) churn.

Please wrap. The 80 char limit is a soft limit, but should still be honored unless
there's a good reason to run over.

I also vote to name the param "sig" to keep line lengths short.

Since the struct is a 64-bit value, what about making this a pure getter that
returns a copy?

static struct kvm_hypervisor_cpuid kvm_get_hypervisor_cpuid(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
const char *sig)
{
struct kvm_hypervisor_cpuid cpuid = {};
struct kvm_cpuid_entry2 *entry;
u32 function;

for_each_possible_hypervisor_cpuid_base(cpuid.base) {
entry = kvm_find_cpuid_entry(vcpu, function);

if (entry) {
u32 signature[3];

signature[0] = entry->ebx;
signature[1] = entry->ecx;
signature[2] = entry->edx;

if (!memcmp(signature, sig, sizeof(signature))) {
cpuid.base = function;
cpuid.limit = entry->eax;
break;
}
}
}

return cpuid;
}


vcpu->arch.kvm_cpuid = kvm_get_hypervisor_cpuid(vcpu, KVM_SIGNATURE);
vcpu->arch.xen.cpuid = kvm_get_hypervisor_cpuid(vcpu, XEN_SIGNATURE);
