KVM PV EOI optimization overrides eoi_write apic op with its own version. at Ingo's suggestion, add an API for this and switch kvm to use it, to avoid meddling with core x86 apic driver data structures directly. Ingo, could you please review and let us know whether this matches what you had in mind? This patchset is on top of kvm/next since it touches some of the code modified in that tree (and patch 3 reverts a commit in that tree). Could x86 some maintainers pls ACK merging this patchset through the kvm tree? Michael S.
