If the CPU supports Idle HLT, which elides HLT VM-Exits if the vCPU has an unmasked pending IRQ or NMI, relax the xAPIC IPI test's assertion on the number of HLT exits to only require that the number of exits is less than or equal to the number of HLT instructions that were executed. I.e. don't fail the test if Idle HLT does what it's supposed to do. Note, unfortunately there's no way to determine if *KVM* supports Idle HLT, as this_cpu_has() checks raw CPU support, and kvm_cpu_has() checks what can be exposed to L1, i.e. the latter would check if KVM supports nested Idle HLT. But, since the assert is purely bonus coverage, checking for CPU support is good enough.

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.
