Force an update of the EOI exit bitmap in nvmx_update_apicv, because
the one performed in vmx_intr_assist might not be reached if the
interrupt is intercepted by nvmx_intr_intercept returning true.
Extract the code to update the exit bitmap from vmx_intr_assist into a
helper and use it in nvmx_update_apicv.

Similarly, I'd like to do the sync within the conditional block, when intr
status is actually changed. Otherwise, it becomes checking bitmap change
in every vmentry when apicv is enabled.

No - it will only check the bitmap when there's a virtual vmexit
(which is where nvmx_update_apicv gets called), not on every vmentry.
I can try to do this conditionally on whether GUEST_INTR_STATUS is
actually changed.

you are right. I overlooked it. but still it's unnecessary to do it for
every virtual vmexit. 😊
