Use a per-CPU variable instead of a shared bitmap to track which CPUs have successfully enabled virtualization hardware. Using a per-CPU bool avoids the need for an additional allocation, and arguably yields easier to read code. Using a bitmap would be advantageous if KVM used it to avoid generating IPIs to CPUs that failed to enable hardware, but that's an extreme edge case and not worth optimizing, and the low level helpers would still want to keep their individual checks as attempting to enable virtualization hardware when it's already enabled can be problematic, e.g. Intel's VMXON will fault. Opportunistically change the order in hardware_enable_nolock() to set the flag if and only if hardware enabling is successful, instead of speculatively setting the flag and then clearing it on failure. Add a comment explaining that the check in hardware_disable_nolock() isn't simply paranoia. Waaay back when, commit 1b6c0168 ("KVM: Keep track of which cpus have virtualization enabled"), added the logic as a guards against CPU hotplug racing with hardware enable/disable. Now that KVM has eliminated the race by taking cpu_hotplug_lock for read (via cpus_read_lock()) when enabling or disabling hardware, at first glance it appears that the check is now superfluous, i.e. it's tempting to remove the per-CPU flag entirely...
