Did you read the code that initializes whp-dispatch, or even easier try 
to find the patch the introduced it ("git log --follow 
target/i386/whpx/whp-dispatch.h")?  Marc-André, I expect you to know 
better than "it fixes the build, ergo it is correct"...

It shouldn't indeed, hence the second suggestion:

Because "just" including it in those two .c files implies removing it 
from include/sysemu/whpx.h.  I was a bit concise, I admit.
