Mainly so you could use it in if (IS_ENABLED()) blocks, but would still
catch the (presumably buggy) case where something calls it without the
option set.

I think I had it arranged a different way that was using IS_ENABLED 
earlier and changed it but might as well keep it this way.

Yeah the qspinlock_paravirt.h header is a bit weird and only gets 
included into kernel/locking/qspinlock.c

Yes I think so.
