The new code does, because __pi_post_block resets vcpu->pre_pcpu to -1.

Oh, I see what you mean: set up the wakeup handler in vmx_vcpu_pi_put
and rely on PI.ON to wake up the sleeping process immediately. That
should be feasible, but overall I like the current pre_block/post_block
structure, and I think it's simpler. The only thing to be careful about
is leaving the IRTE unmodified when scheduling out a blocked VCPU, which
is cleaned up and simplified in patch 3.
So I understand that the state may seem a bit too complicated as
of this patch, but hopefully the next two make it clearer.
