In general, I believe that HCALL_DEFS should not be part of the public
interface.

Otherwise, adding a new hypercall would break compilation of userspace.
 Hypercalls (after the first commit) should always be associated to a
capability, so they shouldn't be generated unless userspace explicitly
requests them.

Rather, document the hypercalls under Documentation/virtual/kvm, noting
which are implemented in the kernel and which need to be handled in
userspace.

BTW, BOTH_EMULATE and USER_HCALL seem unused.
