The fast path is an eventfd so that we don't have to teach all the

into kvm and hands the client an eventfd.  All the client has to do is
bang on the eventfd for the interrupt to be queued.  The eventfd
provides event coalescing and is equally useful from the kernel and
userspace, and can be used with targets other than kvm.

So presumably if a device triggers an APIC interrupt using a write that isn't one of the currently configured PCI devices, it all explodes horribly?

I don't follow.  Can you elaborate on your scenario?
