Blech, the kvm_apic_has_events() name is awful (as is pending_events), e.g. it
really should be kvm_apic_has_pending_sipi_or_init().

To avoid the odd kvm_vcpu_latch_init() declaration and the long line above, what
if we open code this in kvm_vcpu_has_events() like we do for NMI, SMI, etc...?

And as follow-up, I would love to rename kvm_vcpu_latch_init() => kvm_vcpu_init_blocked(),
kvm_apic_has_events(), and pending_events.

E.g. for this patch just do:
