but the 3rd one is racy, so I sometimes also get
PASS: direct interrupt + hlt
FAIL: intercepted interrupt + hlt
PASS: direct interrupt + activity state hlt
FAIL: intercepted interrupt + activity state hlt
1st and 3rd have disabled extint and 2nd and 4th enabled ...
but that would mean that we a bug in a path that gets called in both
cases, so calling vmx_hwapic_irr_update() isn't a problem ...
and suddenly the bug becomes obvious:

We don't call vmx_hwapic_irr_update() when returning early.
