[PATCH v2 1/3] KVM: SVM: Make kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_precreate() hook fully AVIC specific

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 17:05:34 EST


In anticipation of deferring all per-VM AVIC initialization until a vCPU
is first created, move SVM's kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_precreate() hook into avic.c
as avic_vcpu_pre_create() and nullify the hook if AVIC is disabled (and
WARN if the hook is somehow invoked without AVIC enabled).
