These are the fixed patches that now pass vmx.flat.  The issue in
"KVM: x86: do not scan IRR twice on APICv vmentry" was that,
in v1 of the patches, kvm_cpu_get_interrupt did not scan IRR
at all if it found PIR.ON=0.  This is now fixed in patches 4 and 5.

Another latent bug has to be fixed in patch 2.  The patch also
highlights the maze that check_nested_events has become.  Fixing
that is left for later.

The patches are on top of the (non-APICv-related) KVM_REQ_EVENT
patches from this morning.  According to kvm-unit-tests, patch 6 speeds
up self-IPIs (if not done through the accelerated self-IPI MSR) by 5-10%.

Paolo Bonzini (6):
  KVM: vmx: clear pending interrupts on KVM_SET_LAPIC
  kvm: nVMX: move nested events check to kvm_vcpu_running
  KVM: x86: preparatory changes for APICv cleanups
  KVM: vmx: move sync_pir_to_irr from apic_find_highest_irr to callers
  KVM: x86: do not scan IRR twice on APICv vmentry
  kvm: x86: do not use KVM_REQ_EVENT for APICv interrupt injection
