One use for this stats would be to help:
1. Determine if vm and/or vcpu is inhibited.
2. Determine the inhibit reason.

Therefore can we use STATS_DESC_ICOUNTER() instead of
STATS_DESC_IBOOLEAN(), and show the inhibit flag from

vm_reason = struct kvm->arch.apicv_inhibit_reasons
vcpu_reason = static_call(kvm_x86_vcpu_get_apicv_inhibit_reasons)(vcpu)

See kvm_vcpu_apicv_activated().
