I tried to dig the history to find out why we are doing this.

IMHO it's better to give a reason why you need to revert the opaque.  I guess no
one uses this opaque now doesn't mean we need to remove it?

Perhaps you should mention this is a preparation to
hardware_enable_all()/hardware_disable_all() during module loading time. 
Instead of extending hardware_enable_all()/hardware_disable_all() to take the
opaque and pass to kvm_arch_check_process_compat(), just remove the opaque.

Or perhaps just merge this patch to next one?
