Since you select GUEST_ACCOUNTING, the #ifdef is always true?

It is just to avoid error if we compile kvm module outside of the kernel, with
kernel without support of guest accounting. Can be removed if you want.

No, empty function.

It is just to introduce "symmetry" in code, the VCPU code begins with
"kvm_guest_start()" and ends with "kvm_guest_exit()". And we have no operation
to do in kvm_guest_exit() (the PF_VCPU is cleared by account_system_time()), so
"empty function", removed by the optimizer (I hope).

Ah okay. We take care of the external module in
external-module-compat.h (in this case, we can #define PF_VCPU to 0 if
it is undefined).

But what if account_system_time() is not called (because we exited
before the timer interrupt hit)?

account_system_time() is called by the scheduler on tick. If we clear PF_VCPU in
kvm_guest_exit(), the flag is always cleared when account_system_time() is
executed, so we account "0", if we call account_system_time() directly from
kvm_guest_exit() we account "1", so we subtract 1 to system time, and we have
perhaps not used 1 tick in system: in my opinion this implies wrong results.
