*linear* - spell check must have played a trick on me.

asm-offsets.c pukes all over the place and I can't include asm/kvm_hyp.h
from kvm_host.h, because it depends on kvm_host.h, and I can't include
asm/kvm_hyp.h easily in asm-offsets.c because it pukes again from all
sorts of other missing things.

If you care strongly about this point, I can try to dig deeper in this
or refactor this somehow more substantially.  Ideas?
