That's a great idea actually (I wasn't aware of it). But, probably
should've mentioned it earlier, I had a hard time compiling the header
as is so I modified it a little bit and made the definitions of
[write|read]_sysreg_s() similar to the ones in kvm-unit-tests.
I'll try my best to get the original format working and try to
implement your idea if it works.
