Since I'm going to remove get_enable_apicv, this patch will look like
this instead:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c
index ceead401a696..1c4a26d34913 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c
+++ b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c
@@ -2074,7 +2074,7 @@ static int svm_vm_init(struct kvm *kvm)
 			return ret;
 	}

-	kvm_apicv_init(kvm, avic && irqchip_split(kvm));
+	kvm_apicv_init(kvm, avic);
 	return 0;
 }
