What wakes the vcpu in the case of a non-urgent interrupt, then?

I wonder how is software suppose to configure the urgent/non-urgent
flag. Can you give examples of (hypothetical) urgent and non-urgent
interrupts.

What about:

POSTED_INTR_VECTOR interrupt handler:
- Wakeup vcpu.
- Set 'SN' to suppress future interrupts.

HLT emulation entry:
- Clear 'SN' to receive VT-d interrupt notification.
