Expose the APICv activation status of individual vCPUs via the stats
subsystem. In special cases a vCPU's APICv can be deactivated/disabled
even though there are no VM-wide inhibition reasons. The only current
example of this is AVIC for a vCPU running in nested mode. This type of
inhibition is not recorded in the VM inhibit reasons or visible in
current tracepoints.

Hrm, do we really have no way to effectively symlink stats to internal state?
That seems like a flaw.  It's obviously not the end of the world, but having to
burn 8 bytes per vCPU for boolean stats that are 1:1 reflections of KVM state is
going to be a deterrent for future stats.
