irq.dest_mode becomes non-zero, and kvm_apic_match_dest uses
kvm_apic_match_logical_addr for filtering out possible target CPUs.

Mmh, a remaining question is if kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic is then already
doing the right thing, even for delivery_mode != APIC_DM_LOWEST.

Again my question to you: Did you observe unexpected behaviour with some
real guests, or is this just based on code and spec study so far? If we
had a test case, that could also provide valuable hints.
