Oh, yikes, yes.

$ git grep '\bkvm_init('
arch/mips/kvm/mips.c:   ret = kvm_init(NULL, sizeof(struct kvm_vcpu),
0, THIS_MODULE);
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c:      r = kvm_init(NULL, sizeof(struct
kvm_vcpu), 0, THIS_MODULE);
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500.c:        r = kvm_init(NULL, sizeof(struct
kvmppc_vcpu_e500), 0, THIS_MODULE);
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500mc.c:      r = kvm_init(NULL, sizeof(struct
kvmppc_vcpu_e500), 0, THIS_MODULE);
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c:       return kvm_init(NULL, sizeof(struct
kvm_vcpu), 0, THIS_MODULE);
arch/x86/kvm/svm.c:     return kvm_init(&svm_x86_ops, sizeof(struct vcpu_svm),
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c:     int r = kvm_init(&vmx_x86_ops, sizeof(struct vcpu_vmx),
include/linux/kvm_host.h:int kvm_init(void *opaque, unsigned
vcpu_size, unsigned vcpu_align,
virt/kvm/arm/arm.c:     int rc = kvm_init(NULL, sizeof(struct

I'll fix this up.
