it feels a bit strange to introduce this function here when I cannot see
how it's called.
At the very least, could you provide the C equivalent prototype in a
comment or specify what the input registers are? E.g.
/*
* void __kvm_restore_host_vfp_state(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu);
*/

not sure this comment change belongs in this patch (but the comment is
well-written).

It would probably be easier to just rebase this on the previous series
and refer to that in the cover letter, but the approach here looks
otherwise right to me.
