Can you explain the event_needs_reinjection case?  Also, does this break
AMD which does not implement the callback?

This is mostly a copy of

               if (kvm_x86_ops.deliver_posted_interrupt(vcpu, vector)) {
                        kvm_lapic_set_irr(vector, apic);
                        kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_EVENT, vcpu);
                        kvm_vcpu_kick(vcpu);
                }
                break;

(is it required to do vmx_sync_pir_to_irr?).  So you should not special
case LVTT and move this code to lapic.c instead.  But even before that...

Is it actually common that the timer is set back in time and therefore
this code is executed?
