Inhibit APICv/AVIC if the optimized physical map is disabled so that KVM KVM provides consistent APIC behavior if xAPIC IDs are aliased due to vcpu_id being truncated and the x2APIC hotplug hack isn't enabled. If the hotplug hack is disabled, events that are emulated by KVM will follow architectural behavior (all matching vCPUs receive events, even if the "match" is due to truncation), whereas APICv and AVIC will deliver events only to the first matching vCPU, i.e. the vCPU that matches without truncation. Note, the "extra" inhibit is needed because KVM deliberately ignores mismatches due to truncation when applying the APIC_ID_MODIFIED inhibit so that large VMs (>255 vCPUs) can run with APICv/AVIC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
