Yep. I also kind of don't like the name, but I didn't though of anything better.
vcpu_has_apicv_inhibit_condition seems a good idea.

I will think of a better name.

Good idea, now it is possible to after recent refactoring.

This is also something that should be done, but I prefer to do this in one go.
There are several nested related functions that were not converted to static_call
(like .check_nested_events).

Also I recently found that we have KVM_X86_OP and KVM_X86_OP_NULL which are the
same thing - another thing for refactoring, so I prefer to refactor this
in one patch series.

Yes it will! Good catch. It almost like I would like to have .apicv_is_avic boolean,
for such cases :-) I'll think of something.
