Yeah, I was wandering if the name is ambiguous when I had it. The
reason why I had the name is to be consistent with the existing
one, which is kvm_check_async_pf_completion().

Yes, kvm_async_pf_completion_queue_empty() is much better and I
will include this in next revision.

It's correct that x86 functions include 'apf', but the generic
functions, shared by multiple architectures, use 'async_pf' if
my understanding is correct. So I wouldn't bother to change
the generic function names in this series :)
