I think you are misunderstanding here.  Xen and QEMU suffer from a problem 
where they misemulate single events that cause two vectors (such as mapping 
LINT0 to NMI as linux sometimes does).  My patch only prioritizes in the sense 
of ordering between the two sources...both vectors would actually get injected 
eventually.  That is the difference.  Xen/QEMU drop one of the vectors (with 
favor going to EXTINT), whereas mine honors both based on how the "hw" is 
programmed.  So they are not the same.
