Kvm_cpu_has_interrupt is also called in other place, no just used to judge whether to inject interrupt manually. For instance, it is called in kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable. In that case, apic can't be ingored. So for safety, I think it is better to use another function here other than change the original kvm_cpu_has_interrupt function.
