Yes, when reseting, we need to reset both APIC/PIC/IOAPIC and pv
driver in future, and also VCPU.
 
But isn't apic_reset a pure user level APIC thing?
 
BTW
 
I posted a patch to support kernel device reset which is still pending.
And I think Avi has some idea to support too and is working on:-)

implementation which fixes the reboot issues which can be seen with Linux and 
Windows.

        In general your approach might work but there are some inconsistencies 
- there is kvm_apic_reset 
        in the kernel too. We can either drop it and use your load method or 
add an apic-reset ioctl.
        Eddie/Avi which approach do you think is better?
        There is also the ioapic who should get reset too.
        Thanks,
        Dor.
