x86/x86_emulate/x86_emulate.c has no #ifdef-ary at its top so far. Sites
#include-ing the file are responsible for carrying all prereq #include-s
(i.e. ones needed on top of what x86/x86_emulate/private.h supplies). Are
we happy to give up on that and have #ifdef-ed #include-s (and alike)
at the top of x86/x86_emulate/x86_emulate.c? (For AMX there would then
also be a couple of static items in a __XEN__-only code fragment.)
