Re: [RFC 2/3] x86: KVM: stats: Add stat counter for IRQs injected via APICv

Hi Alejandro,

Is there any use case of this counter in the bug?

E.g., there are already trace_kvm_apicv_accept_irq() there. The ftrace or ebpf
would be able to tell if the hardware accelerated interrupt delivery is active?.

Any extra benefits? E.g., if this counter may need to match with any other
counter in the KVM/guest so that a bug can be detected? That will be very helpful.

Thank you very much!
