This doesn't compile. I get:

CC [M] arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.o
/home/paulus/kernel/kvm/arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c: In function âkvm_arch_vcpu_createâ:

The problem is that kvmppc_decrementer_wakeup() is a static function
defined in this file (arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c) after
kvm_arch_vcpu_create() but before kvm_arch_vcpu_init(). You need a
forward static declaration of kvmppc_decrementer_wakeup() before
kvm_arch_vcpu_create(), or else move one or other function.
