Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] KVM: x86: hyper-v: Deactivate APICv only when AutoEOI feature is in use

APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_HYPERV is currently unconditionally forced upon
SynIC activation as SynIC's AutoEOI is incompatible with APICv/AVIC. It is,
however, possible to track whether the feature was actually used by the
guest and only inhibit APICv/AVIC when needed.

TLFS suggests a dedicated 'HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED' flag to let
Windows know that AutoEOI feature should be avoided. While it's up to
KVM userspace to set the flag, KVM can help a bit by exposing global
APICv/AVIC enablement: in case APICv/AVIC usage is impossible, AutoEOI
is still preferred.
