[PATCH 5/7] KVM: Fix comments that refer to non-existent identifiers

From: Fuad Tabba

Date: Wed Nov 11 2026 - 04:02:55 EST


Comments in the generic KVM code and its headers refer to functions,
structures, fields, capabilities and Kconfig symbols that have been
misspelled or renamed. Use the current names.
