Okay, I will see what I can do to avoid the forward declarations.

I am not ignoring your valuable feedback; I am sorry if I came across
like that.

In this particular case, the snp_register_ghcb() is shared between the
decompress and main kernel. The variable data->snp_ghcb_registered is
not visible in the decompressed path, so I choose not to set it to true
inside the function itself.
