Subject: [PATCH 079/104] KVM: deliver PIC interrupt only to vcpu0

From: Qing He <qing.he@...el.com>

This patch changes the PIC interrupts delivery. Now it is only delivered
to vcpu0 when either condition is met (on vcpu0):
  1. local APIC is hardware disabled
  2. LVT0 is unmasked and configured to delivery mode ExtInt

It fixes the 2x faster wall clock on x86_64 and SMP i386 Linux guests
