This patch introduces a new mechanism to inject interrupt using AVIC.

VINTR?
The ability to request a vmexit as soon as an interrupt can be injected
(IF=GIF=1, no interrupt window, etc.). It's called the "VINTR intercept".
Please write those things out in the commit message for maximum
information transfer to the reader. :)
More important, where does the APM document that VINTR is not supported
when AVIC is enabled? It is certainly pointless and inefficient, but
I'm not sure where it says that it doesn't work.

Basically, from the APM vol2 here:
http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/24593_APM_v21.pdf
On page 115, section AVIC Enable—Virtual Interrupt Control, Bit 31:
"... Enabling AVIC implicitly disables the V_IRQ, V_INTR_PRIO,
V_IGN_TPR, and V_INTR_VECTOR fields in the VMCB Control Word."
Thanks,
