Currently, there is no way to tell whether APICv is active

can be deactivated at runtime.

Introduce a debugfs entry to report APICv state of a VM.
This creates a read-only file:

/sys/kernel/debug/kvm/70860-14/apicv-state

Shouldn't this first and foremost be a VM ioctl so that user space can inquire its own state?
