Apart from the comments from Jonathan, some nitpicks and questions below.

For the return value, I'm wandering if 0 should be returned. More details
can be found below.

Realm would the only case where vm_s2_ops->vm_flush_remote_{tlbs, tlbs_range)
are NULL. On request to flush remote TLBs by kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_range(), it
ends up with event KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH queued for each vCPU. How this queued event
is linked to a remote TLB flush for realm? The problem is TLBs are owned by EL2
realm and there are no RMI calls for the management. So I'm wandering we should
return 0 here?

Parentheses are needed, to be consistent with KVM_VCPU_OPS at least.

#define KVM_VM_S2_OPS(flavor, ops)		\
		[(flavor)] = (ops)

Actually, KVM_{VCPU, VM_S2}_OPS() can be combined to one in kvm_host.h as below.

#define KVM_FLAVOR_OPS() [(flavor)] = (ops)
