Agree.

I'm not sure if nested_cpu_has_vid() is necessary. My understanding is that
when a bit in the vCPU's vISR is cleared, the vCPU's SVI (i.e., SVI in vmcs01)
may be stale and so needs an update if vmcs01 isn't the active VMCS (i.e., the
vCPU is in guest mode).
If L1 enables VID and EOIs from L2 are virtualized by KVM (L0), KVM shouldn't
call this function in the first place. Because KVM should update the
'virt-APIC' page in VMCS12, rather than updating the vISR of the vCPU.

Sure.
