I don't see where you have provided a function for Book E.

I would suggest you only set the function pointer to non-NULL when the
function is actually needed, i.e. for PR KVM.

It seems to me that this means that emulation of FP/VMX/VSX loads is
currently broken for PR KVM for the case where kvm_io_bus_read() is
able to supply the data, and the emulation of FP/VMX/VSX stores is
broken for PR KVM for all cases.  Do you agree?

I think HV KVM could leave this pointer as NULL, and then...

This could become
		if (vcpu->kvm->arch.kvm_ops->giveup_ext)
			vcpu->kvm->arch.kvm_ops->giveup_ext(vcpu, MSR_FP);

and you wouldn't need to fix Book E explicitly.
