Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Print names of apicv inhibit reasons in traces

v2:
- Use Sean's implementation/patch from v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZjVQOFLXWrZvoa-Y@google.com/
- Fix typo in commit message (s/inhbit/inhibit).
- Add patch renaming APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_DISABLE to APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_DISABLED.
- Drop Vasant's R-b from v1 since implementation was refined, even though the
general approach and behavior remains the same.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240214223554.1033154-1-alejandro.j.jimenez@oracle.com/

Tested on Genoa system. With the proposed changes, the tracepoint output looks
like the following examples:

 qemu-system-x86-7068    [194] .....  1397.647770: kvm_apicv_inhibit_changed: set reason=2, inhibits=0x4 ABSENT
