When enable AVIC:
     * Do not intercept CR8 since this should be handled by AVIC HW.
     * Also update TPR in APIC backing page when syncing CR8 before VMRUN

This doesn't look right.

Actually, I don't think this change isn't necessary since we don't even call kvm_x86_ops->update_cr8_intercept() if vcpu->arch.apicv_active (See arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: update_cr8_intercept()).

I think we can exit early with svm_vcpu_avic_enabled().

Right.

  	svm->vmcb->control.int_ctl &= ~V_TPR_MASK;

kvm_get_cr8() == kvm_lapic_get_reg(APIC_TASKPRI) >> 4.

Good point. I'll clean up and simplify this function.

Thanks,
Suravee
