I prefer the original one;  I think it's better to describe function
than intent in names -- intention should be obvious from its use.

There is one pitfall:  xAPIC flat logical broadcast returns false, but
lowest priority is defined for it (practically isn't a broadcast) and
the rest of this function doesn't check for lowest priority, so the
interrupt won't be posted.

We could modify our _fast functions to cover 0xff in flat logical, but
ignoring this case isn't bad either ... it can happen only with 8 VCPU
guests.  I'd just comment that we did it on purpose. :)
