As I wrote in the other message, Linux in general has a shallow include/
tree, so I think putting them in include/kvm/ is good.

Is there any precedent for naming stuff that is common to arm and
aarch64?  I think to 99% of the world they will both be "arm", but of
course the remaining 1% is likely over-represented among KVM-ARM
maintainers. :)
