Add a module param to each KVM vendor module to allow disabling device
posted interrupts without having to sacrifice all of APICv/AVIC, and to
also effectively enumerate to userspace whether or not KVM may be
utilizing device posted IRQs. Disabling device posted interrupts is
very desirable for testing, and can even be desirable for production
environments, e.g. if the host kernel wants to interpose on device
interrupts.
Put the module param in kvm-{amd,intel}.ko instead of kvm.ko to match
the overall APICv/AVIC controls, and to avoid complications with said
controls. E.g. if the param is in kvm.ko, KVM needs to be snapshot the
original user-defined value to play nice with a vendor module being
reloaded with different enable_apicv settings.

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 reStructuredText 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.
