[PATCH 11/12] KVM: SVM: Do not inhibit APICv when x2APIC is present

From: Suravee Suthikulpanit
Date: Tue Apr 05 2022 - 23:03:04 EST


Currently, AVIC is inhibited when booting a VM w/ x2APIC support.
This is because AVIC cannot virtualize x2APIC mode in the VM.
With x2AVIC support, the APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_X2APIC is
no longer enforced.
