Yeah, to be honest this header file seems a bit of a mess. It’s being
#included by a bunch of .c files in hw/ despite being located in target/
not include/ which suggests to me that some of the declarations ought to be
moved.

As I’m not really familiar with any of the KVM code base I would not
normally be attempting to clean this up but the staging & master branches
currently don’t build on macOS, so I was aiming for the simplest fix
possible for the immediate problem.

(I will test your patch shortly however.)
