Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v7 14/37] KVM: x86: Move lapic set/clear_vector()
 helpers to common code

Pick one scope for all of these.  I.e. either "KVM: x86:" or "x86/apic: KVM:".
My vote is for "x86/apic: KVM:", because the "x86/apic" part helps communicate
where in common code the helpers are landing.
