Lets not worry about that for now. May be it is enough to have only one
KVM_REQ_APIC_PAGE_RELOAD request set apic_access_page to a new value
before sending the request and reload whatever is in apic_access_page
during KVM_REQ_APIC_PAGE_RELOAD processing. Or we can even reload
apic_access_page as part of mmu reload and reuse KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD.

Because if you do not force other vcpus from a guest mode they will not reload
apic_access_page value till next vmexit, but since EPT page table now has a mapping
for 0xfee00000 access to this address will not cause EPT violation and will not cause
apic exit either.

I didn't say that calling this function here will lead to a bug. I am saying that
if vm_need_virtualize_apic_accesses() is false this function should not be called
at all, so this check is redundant.

Right, kvm->arch.apic_access_page is just a shadow value for whatever is written
in vmcs. After setting it all vcpus need to update their vmcs values.

apic page should not be migrated untill all vpus are forced out of a guest mode and
instructed to reload new value on a next guest entry. That's what we are trying to
achieve here.
