(Logical xAPIC doesn't work with x2APIC in our implementation.)

We'd have to change the code in irq_deliver...fast to account for that change, which I think is uglier than checking here. (If the message is for 0xf0000001 and 0x00000001 accepts it, SDM doesn't approve.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
