Looks like the branch has an older version of the patch applied. I
checked the powerpc64-randconfig-002-20260803 config which has below KVM
configs enabled.

  CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
  CONFIG_KVM_COMMON=y
  CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y
  CONFIG_KVM_VFIO=y
  CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT=y
  CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_BYPASS=y
  CONFIG_KVM=y
  CONFIG_KVM_BOOKE_HV=y
  # CONFIG_KVM_EXIT_TIMING is not set
  CONFIG_KVM_E500MC=y
  # CONFIG_KVM_MPIC is not set

The v5 of patch already gates the reported block inside
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE which will avoid such build failures.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

@Maddy, could you please pick the latest version which was sent on Jul
14.

Thanks,
Amit
