From: Sean Christopherson <sea...@google.com> Install the system vector IRQ handlers for FRED even if FRED isn't fully enabled in hardware. This will allow KVM to use the FRED IRQ path even on non-FRED hardware, which in turn will eliminate a non-CFI indirect CALL (KVM currently invokes the IRQ handler via an IDT lookup on the vector).
