Ok, this makes sense. I'll update this in V3.

Actually, the function name nested_svm_intr() is misleading. Here it
returns true when _NOT_ in guest mode:
/* This function returns true if it is save to enable the irq window */
static inline bool nested_svm_intr(struct vcpu_svm *svm)
{
if (!is_guest_mode(&svm->vcpu))
return true;
....
So, the logic above does what we want when AVIC is enabled.
Thanks,
