kvm-unit-tests.git x86/apic.flat is failing ioapic tests with
qemu-system-x86_64 -vnc :99 -device testdev,chardev=x -chardev null,id=x
-smp 2 -kernel ./x86/apic.flat -serial stdio
...
ioapic interrupt: FAIL
ioapic simultaneous interrupt: FAIL
This happens because the test is invoking gsi 16, which is handled by
the non-kvm ioapic instead of the kvm ioapic.

qemu-kvm: Fix GSI handling with in-kernel irqchip
Interrupt routing with in-kernel irqchip was always a mess. Now this
increased after latest upstream merge: we started to call ioapic_set_irq
also for kernel-handled interrupts.
Reduce this mess again by using the upstream kvm_piix3_gsi_handler. It
is aware of the PIIX3-specific routing in KVM mode and won't call into
the user space APIC model (as we do not raise IRQs >= ISA_NUM_IRQS with
the PIIX3).

The obvious fix would be to start using upstream's kvm-ioapic, but you
haven't, why?

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
