I think that if we hit one of these, then WARNs would just flood the
log. I'd prefer WARN_ONCE on AVIC_INCMP_IPI_ERR_INV_BK_PAGE.
(Btw. aren't icr and idx are pointless on this error? and the function
name should be printed by WARN.)
Invalid target is triggerable by the guest (by sending IPI to a
non-existent LAPIC), so warning log level seems too severe.
pr_info_ratelimited() or nothing would be better.
