Nitpick: I don't like this asymmetry.

VMX and the common code uses the enable_apicv module param and variable,
while SVM uses avic, which sets the enable_apicv variable.

I'll prefer both VMX and SVM have their own private variable
for their avic/apicv module param,
which should set a common variable later.
