KVM: SVM: Inhibit APIC virtualization for X2APIC guest
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The AVIC does not support guest use of the x2APIC interface. Currently,
KVM simply chooses to squash the x2APIC feature in the guest's CPUID
If the AVIC is enabled. Doing so prevents KVM from running a guest
with greater than 255 vCPUs, as such a guest necessitates the use
of the x2APIC interface.

Instead, inhibit AVIC enablement on a per-VM basis whenever the x2APIC
feature is set in the guest's CPUID.
