AVIC really won't exit on writes to MSR_IA32_APICBASE otherwise?

No. This won't make the guest switch to xAPIC.
x2APIC can only be enabled if CPUID has that flag and it's impossible to
toggle that CPUID flag it during runtime.

There is no connection to x2APIC, please do it in a different patch.

Please use kvm_find_cpuid_entry for the search.

and X86_FEATURE_X2APIC (or something with X2APIC in name) for the bit.

The code will become so obvious that the comment can be removed. :)

I think this might be the right place for the code you have in
svm_cpuid_update.

Btw. how does x2APIC behave under AVIC?
We definitely shouldn't recommend/expose x2APIC with AVIC as AVIC
doesn't accelerate x2APIC guest-facing interface, but the MSR interface
is going to exit and host-side interrupt delivery will probably still
work, so I don't see a huge problem with it.
