Hi Paolo,
We have a small confusion about commit bab5bb398273bb37547a185f7b344b37c700d0b9. It looks like the patch removed a call to function kvm_make_request() and introduced a new function kvm_set_pending_timer() which is just calling kvm_make_request() again. and the commit message just says "Adds a function kvm_vcpu_set_pending_timer instead of calling kvm_make_request in lapic.c.".
