Most bytes are always 0xff.  It's better to initialize it to 0xff once,
and set the bit here if !nested_cpu_has_virt_x2apic_mode(vmcs12).

Please add braces here, because of the /* */ command below.

No need for this function and nested_cpu_has_virt_x2apic_mode.  Just
inline them in their caller(s).  Same for other cases throughout the series.
