Just in case, add a warning ensuring that on guest entry, either both VMLOAD and VMSAVE intercept is enabled or vVMLOAD/VMSAVE is enabled.

While it's nice to be "proactive", this does adds some extra work. Maybe it should be under CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. It could be useful to make it into its own function so we can add similar intercept invariants in the same place.
I don't know that DEBUG_KERNEL will guard much, DEBUG_KERNEL=y is very common, e.g. it's on by default in the x86 defconfigs. I too agree it's nice to be proactive, but this isn't that different than say failing to intercept CR3 loads when shadow paging is enabled.
If we go down the path of effectively auditing KVM invariants, I'd rather we commit fully and (a) add a dedicated Kconfig that is highly unlikely to be turned on by accident and (b) audit a large number of invariants.
