Put the block comment above.  I'd say collapse all of the comments about NMIs into
a single big block comment.

I'd prefer "is_hw_nmi_pending()" over "get", even if it means not pairing with
"set".  Though I think that's a good thing since they aren't perfect pairs.

Nothing cares about the total count, this can just be;


	bool kvm_is_nmi_pending(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
	{
		return vcpu->arch.nmi_pending ||
		       static_call(kvm_x86_is_hw_nmi_pending)(vcpu);
	}
