Thnaks,
So just programming of PIC (8259) should do the trick. Do I have to care about IOAPIC or LAPIC programming? You mentioned lapic is disabled by default, what about IOAPIC.
I see in x86.c
case KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP:
r = -ENOMEM;
kvm->arch.vpic = kvm_create_pic(kvm);
if (kvm->arch.vpic) {
r = kvm_ioapic_init(kvm);
if (r) {
kfree(kvm->arch.vpic);
kvm->arch.vpic = NULL;
goto out;
}
} else
goto out;
break;
so ioapic is created.
I have enabled all the interrupts in 8259s correctly
PIC Programming of master and slave 8259s
;; PIC
mov al, #0x00
out 0x21, AL ;master pic: all IRQs unmasked
out 0xA1, AL ;slave pic: all IRQs unmasked
PIT Programming
SET_INT_VECTOR(0x08, #0xF000, #int08_handler)
mov al, #0x34 ; timer0: binary count, 16bit count, mode 2
out 0x43, al
mov al, #0x00 ; maximum count of 0000H = 18.2Hz
out 0x40, al
out 0x40, al
But still not see PIT interrupts or Timer ISR being called!
-thanks
Abhishek

It should work, but best to check using strace or adding printfs.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
