When split irqchip support was introduced, the meaning of kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() changed: now it only means the LAPIC is in kernel. The PIC, IOAPIC, and PIT might be in userspace if irqchip=split was set. Update the doc comment to reflect that. While at it, remove the "the user asked us" part in kvm_irqchip_is_split() doc comment. That macro has nothing to do with existence of explicit user-provided options.
