Third time's a charm...

	if (kvm_pv_async_pf_enabled(vcpu))
		return false;

	if (vcpu->arch.apf.send_user_only &&
	    static_call(kvm_x86_get_cpl)(vcpu) == 0)
		return false;

	/* L1 CR0.PG=1 is guaranteed if the vCPU is in guest mode (L2). */
	if (is_guest_mode(vcpu))
		return !vcpu->arch.apf.delivery_as_pf_vmexit;

	return is_paging(vcpu);
