How about MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_INT instead of MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF2 (to match
MSR_KVM_ASYNC_EN and MSR_KVM_ASYNC_ACK where they're all MSR_KVM_ASYNC_* with a
meaningful ending word)?

(may need to fix up the indents)

There are two enable bits, this one in ASYNC_PF_EN and the other old one in
ASYNC_PF2. Could it work with only one knob (e.g., set bit 0 of ASYNC_PF_EN
always to enable apf)? After all we have had bit 3 of ASYNC_PF_EN to show
whether interrupt is enabled, which seems to be the real switch for whether to
enable interrupt for apf.

If we can keep the only knob in ASYNC_PF_EN (bit 0), iiuc we can also keep the
below kvm_async_pf_wakeup_all() untouched (so we only set bit 0 of ASYNC_PF_EN
after configure everything).

Thanks,
