Actually, thinking about it again, this would not work either since
pr_xxx_once() would only print the message once per loading of kvm_amd module.
However, we would prefer the message to be printed per VM initialization. I also
tried adding the check and print this message in the kvm_x86_ops.vm_init(), but
this also does not work since the vm_init() function is called before the
kvm_vm_ioctl_enable_cap(KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP).

Therefore, pr_info() might be better here, even though this would get print per
VCPU initialization. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Suravee
