Since you select GUEST_ACCOUNTING, the #ifdef is always true?

It is just to avoid error if we compile kvm module outside of the kernel, with
kernel without support of guest accounting. Can be removed if you want.


Ah okay. We take care of the external module in external-module-compat.h (in this case, we can #define PF_VCPU to 0 if it is undefined).

Missing content?

No, empty function.

It is just to introduce "symmetry" in code, the VCPU code begins with
"kvm_guest_start()" and ends with "kvm_guest_exit()". And we have no operation
to do in kvm_guest_exit() (the PF_VCPU is cleared by account_system_time()), so
"empty function", removed by the optimizer (I hope).

But what if account_system_time() is not called (because we exited before the timer interrupt hit)?
