Some comments: 

Enable ack-on-exit feature patch:
1) Value of register VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO is available at
vmx->exit_intr_info. See commit
887864758580c80710947c38a4692032163777df.

Posted interrupt patch:
2) Must move IN_GUEST_MODE assignment after local_irq_disable, in
vcpu_enter_guest function. Otherwise:

cpu0			vcpu1<->cpu1

			vcpu->mode = IN_GUEST_MODE

if IN_GUEST_MODE == true
	send IPI
			local_irq_disable

PIR not transferred to VIRR, misses interrupt.

3) Must check outstanding PIR notification bit unconditionally on
every VM-entry, because:

	1. local_irq_disable
	2. vcpu->mode = IN_GUEST_MODE
	3. vmenter
	4. vmexit
	5. vcpu->mode = OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE

If PIR-IPI-interrupt is sent between an event which triggers VM-exit
(for example, an external interrupt due to a device), and step 5
(assignment of vcpu->mode), the PIR->VIRR transfer before vmentry must
be made.

4) Today, an interrupt notification is cached on IRR until its delivered - further
interrupt injection is not generating further interrupt notification
bits. With PIR, behaviour changes: Its possible to have one bit in PIR and another 
on IRR APIC page (if timing is right). Is this harmless? Why?
