Subject: [PATCH] KVM: X86: Use IPI shorthands in kvm guest when support

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

IPI shorthand is supported now by linux apic/x2apic driver, switch to 
IPI shorthand for all excluding self and all including self destination 
shorthand in kvm guest, to avoid splitting the target mask into serveral 
PV IPI hypercalls.
