When APIC mode is updated (e.g. from xAPIC to x2APIC),
KVM needs to update AVIC settings accordingly, whic is
handled by svm_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl().

No need for that - APIC base relocation doesn't work when AVIC is enabled,
since the page which contains it has to be marked R/W in NPT, which we
only do for the default APIC base.

I recently removed the code from AVIC which still tried to set the
'avic_vapic_bar' like this.

Why? When AVIC is un-inhibited later then the svm_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl will be called
again and switch to x2avic mode I think.

When AVIC is inhibited, then regardless of x2apic mode, VMCB must not have
any avic bits set, and all x2apic msrs should be read/write intercepted.,
thus I don't think that svm_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl should be force called.

Got it. I'll remove this part.

Current version does not disable AVIC when APIC is disabled, which happens during
APIC mode switching (i.e. xAPIC -> disabled -> x2APIC). This needs to be fixed.
Then we can remove the force refresh.

The refresh is normally called only when there is APICV update request (e.g. 
kvm_request_apicv_update(APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_IRQWIN)), which could happen or not.


However, I have reworked this part. The svm_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl()
force is no longer needed.
