Doesn't fly for -rt anymore: pic_irq_update runs under this raw lock and calls kvm_vcpu_kick which tries to wake_up some thread -> scheduling while atomic. This used to work up to 956f97cf. -rt for 2.6.31 is not yet affected, but 2.6.33 should be broken (haven't checked, using kvm-kmod over 2.6.31 ATM). I can provide a patch that restores the deferred kicking if it's acceptable for upstream.
