That's an interesting thing to consider indeed. I wasn't really sure
how to put this in a header file which wouldn't look overly bloated for
inclusion elsewhere, so we ended up with this.
I don't think the alternative suggestion that I discused with Julien on
this patch changes this much, but since you've had a look at this, I'm
curious which one of the two (lookup table vs. giant switch) you prefer?

I don't know either. But I will say that the whole idea behind put/load
is that you do this rarely, and going to userspace from KVM is
notriously expensive, also on x86.

We have places where this is not the cae, access_vm_reg() for example.
But if we really, really, wanted to, we could rewrite that to have a
function for each register, but that's pretty horrid on its own.
