#1423782 — [RFC PATCH 1/2] KVM: x86: always use "acknowledge interrupt on exit"

This is necessary to simplify handle_external_intr in the next patch.
It means that nested KVM will require 3.16 on the host (or 3.17 if you
have APICv enabled).

Even if it breaks, this will complain quite loudly for the user to
upgrade. Maybe, a ack_intr specific message would be more direct (since that
is the one we are breaking) but imo it's fine either way.
