I still think this is a bit weird. If you really want to macro-ise stuff,
then why not follow the sort of thing we do for e.g. per-cpu variables and
have separate DECLARE_HYP_CPU_FTR_REG and DEFINE_HYP_CPU_FTR_REG macros.

That way kvm_cpufeature.h can have header guards like a normal header and
we can drop the '#ifndef KVM_HYP_CPU_FTR_REG' altogether. I don't think
the duplication of the symbol name really matters -- it should fail at
build time if something is missing.
