This function is defined in patch 3/5. Because virtual interrupt delivery is not enabled in this patch. So this function is not called. Since we will enable this feature by default, so maybe we can merge PATCH 2,3,4 together into one patch.

You means putting the 'vid_enabled' judgement in 'kvm_x86_ops->update_cr8_intercept'? Is it just out of the reason that reducing the code change in common code?
