kvm_vcpu_apicv_active() returns false if a virtual machine has no in-kernel
local APIC, however kvm_apicv_activated might still be true if there are
no reasons to disable APICv; in fact it is quite likely that there is none
because APICv is inhibited by specific configurations of the local APIC
and those configurations cannot be programmed. This triggers a WARN:
WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm_apicv_activated(vcpu->kvm) != kvm_vcpu_apicv_active(vcpu));
To avoid this, introduce another cause for APICv inhibition, namely the
absence of an in-kernel local APIC. This cause is enabled by default,
and is dropped by either KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP or the enabling of
KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP_SPLIT.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
