Slightly more accurate name and comment:

static bool vmx_needs_pi_wakeup(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
/*
* The default posted interrupt vector does nothing when
* invoked outside guest mode. Return whether a blocked vCPU
* can be the target of posted interrupts, as is the case when
* using either IPI virtualization or VT-d PI, so that the
* notification vector is switched to the one that calls
* back to the pi_wakeup_handler() function.
*/
return vmx_can_use_ipiv(vcpu) || vmx_can_use_vtd_pi(vcpu->kvm);
}
