Now that kvm_arch_hardware_setup() is called immediately after
kvm_arch_init(), fold the guts of kvm_arch_hardware_(un)setup() into
kvm_arch_{init,exit}() as a step towards dropping one of the hooks.
To avoid having to unwind various setup, e.g registration of several
notifiers, slot in the vendor hardware setup before the registration of
said notifiers and callbacks. Introducing a functional change while
moving code is less than ideal, but the alternative is adding a pile of
unwinding code, which is much more error prone, e.g. several attempts to
move the setup code verbatim all introduced bugs.
Add a comment to document that kvm_ops_update() is effectively the point
of no return, e.g. it sets the kvm_x86_ops.hardware_enable canary and so
needs to be unwound.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
