[PATCH 3/3] KVM: SVM: Add irqchip_split() checks before enabling AVIC

From: Suravee Suthikulpanit
Date: Tue Sep 05 2017 - 23:41:00 EST


SVM AVIC hardware accelerates guest write to APIC_EOI register
(for edge-trigger interrupt), which means it does not trap to KVM.

So, only enable SVM AVIC only in split irqchip mode.
(e.g. launching qemu w/ option '-machine kernel_irqchip=split').
