Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 00/13] KVM: x86: break the xAPIC barrier

NACK, sorry.

KVM allows x2APIC even without interrupt remapping and therefore
interprets IOAPIC destination 0xff as a broadcast, which causes a bug
when x2APIC uses 0xff.

I'll fix that in v3.  The hack will be disabled when x2apic_api
capability is enabled.
