Argh, good eyes. Getting the ordering correct in this series has been quite the
struggle. Assuming there are no subtle dependencies between x86 and common KVM,
the ordering should be something like this:

KVM: Opt out of generic hardware enabling on s390 and PPC
KVM: Register syscore (suspend/resume) ops early in kvm_init()
KVM: x86: Do compatibility checks when onlining CPU
KVM: SVM: Check for SVM support in CPU compatibility checks
KVM: VMX: Shuffle support checks and hardware enabling code around
KVM: x86: Do VMX/SVM support checks directly in vendor code
KVM: x86: Unify pr_fmt to use module name for all KVM modules
KVM: x86: Use KBUILD_MODNAME to specify vendor module name
KVM: Make hardware_enable_failed a local variable in the "enable all" path
KVM: Use a per-CPU variable to track which CPUs have enabled virtualization
KVM: Remove on_each_cpu(hardware_disable_nolock) in kvm_exit()
KVM: Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock
KVM: Disable CPU hotplug during hardware enabling
KVM: Rename and move CPUHP_AP_KVM_STARTING to ONLINE section
KVM: Drop kvm_arch_check_processor_compat() hook
