Generally per-mail answers are preferred, as that makes the context
more obvious. Occasionally you'll find that overall effect is better if
you reply to multiple levels of contexts at once.

But please, for legibility's sake, include blank lines between quoted

Just like cpuid_viridian_leaves() lives in xen/arch/x86/hvm/viridian.c,
your new function should live in e.g. xen/arch/x86/hvm/vmware.c.
