Hi Suravee.

I wonder, how this interacts with Hyper-V SynIC; see comments below.

Are we sure, we're not accidentally re-enabling AVIC, if it was disabled via
kvm_hv_activate_synic()?

Something like avic_destroy_access_page() is not called, when AVIC is
disabled via kvm_hv_activate_synic().

Is that an oversight in the other code path, is it not needed here,
or am I missing something?

nit: This comment should probably go away, now.
