I note that an indirect call on data path is mostly unnecessary here:
	static int vmx_vm_has_apicv(struct kvm *kvm)
	{
		return enable_apicv && irqchip_in_kernel(kvm);
	}
is all it does, and irqchip_in_kernel also has an rmb within it, which
is somewhat expensive on x86: and there's no way to reach this code
with irqchip disabled, correct?

smp_rmb is just a compiler barrier, it's not expensive. The indirect call is probably more expensive.

That said, other places in the paths (kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr, kvm_cpu_get_interrupt) already call kvm_apic_vid_enabled, so this patch doesn't introduce something new.

How about adding a bool flag in kvm_vcpu_arch, and testing that?

Yes, that's possible. It's also possible to test kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_isr_update != NULL and zero the field in vmx.c's hardware_setup. Can you make a patch?
