Yes, the documents for IOAPIC is always hard to find, at least for
me...

There is some pages mentioned IOAPIC in ICH9 manual on chap 13.5 here:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/datasheet/io-controller-hub-9-datasheet.pdf

However I see nothing related to how the IOAPIC version is defined. In
that sense, the comment above __eoi_ioapic_pin() seems to be better. :)

Agreed.

Instead of the "!directed" flag (which is imho duplicated with what
APIC_SPIV_DIRECTED_EOI means), do you like below fix?

This patch along will break kvm_notify_acked_irq() in some way I
guess, but if with your patch (though will possibly need to boost
IOAPIC version to 0x20 as well), it should work fine as long as guest
remembers to send the direct EOI.

Thanks,
