A variety of cleanups and minor fixes, mostly related to APIC and APICv.
The following changes since commit 9ace4753a5202b02191d54e9fdf7f9e3d02b85eb:

KVM: VMX: Remove declaration of nested_mark_vmcs12_pages_dirty() (2026-01-14 06:01:03 -0800)
----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM x86 APIC-ish changes for 6.20
- Fix a benign bug where KVM could use the wrong memslots (ignored SMM) when
creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory.
- Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty.
- Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused
ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest
and/or user, and all of which were useless.
- Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it
more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow burying the
RTC shenanigans behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y.
- Bury all of ioapic.h and KVM_IRQCHIP_KERNEL behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y.
- Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes.
- Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily
switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested
VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several
bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
"struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans.
- Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv()
to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates
for KVM's own cache of ISR information.
- Drop a dead function declaration.
