I think your earlier suggestion on only defining the module_param when
CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES is selected still applies, since it
removes an avenue for a user to turn off gmem_in_place_conversion if
the other option (VM memory attributes) isn't available.

  +#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES
  +module_param(gmem_in_place_conversion, bool, 0444);
  +#endif

Given that we're now dropping the diff block as you suggested, do you
agree that we should keep this #ifdef?
