Yeah, checkpatch is a tool/guide, there are situations where it's best to use
common sense and ignore checkpatch.

Comments are nice, code is better. And in this case, it's quite easy to assert
that all inhibits have an entry via BUILD_BUG_ON(), e.g. by defining a throwaway
array and asserting that ARRAY_SIZE == NR_APICV_INHIBIT_REASONS.

It's not so easy to add such an assert for the VMX exit reason because the numbers
aren't arbitrary and there are gaps, but for APICv inhibits, the numbers truly
don't matter.

To reduce copy+paste and especially to minimize the number of typos, use another
macro, e.g.

#define __APICV_INHIBIT_REASON(reason) \
{ BIT(APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_##reason), #reason }

If the DISABLE vs. DISABLED annoys you enough, feel free to tack on add a patch
to rename the enum itself.

s/show/print, no reason to introduce yet more terminology. And it probably makes
sense to use a fully verbose name, e.g. kvm_print_apicv_inhibit_reasons().

Use the inner macro to print the _entire_ sequence. The fmt is obviously going
to be coupled with the macro regardless, and so having the macro handle everything
makes it a bit more obvious that the entirety of 0x%lx%s%s of being taken care of.

All in all, sans the potential s/DISABLE/DISABLED rename, this? Compile tested only.
