That is why I mentioned creating a hook similar to
kvm_create_vcpu_debugfs in the common KVM code. kvm_create_vm_debugfs or
something.

Alternatively, maybe kvm_create_vm_debugfs could be moved earlier into
kvm_create_vm, before kvm_arch_post_init_vm and we could move our code
into kvm_arch_post_init_vm.
