There is one place, lapic_timer_int_injected(), where this function be 
used :

         struct kvm_lapic *apic = vcpu->arch.apic;
-       u32 reg = kvm_lapic_get_reg(apic, APIC_LVTT);

         if (kvm_apic_hw_enabled(apic)) {

-                int vec = reg & APIC_VECTOR_MASK;

+               int vec = apic_lvt_vector(APIC_LVTT);
                  void *bitmap = apic->regs + APIC_ISR;


But since that's the only place I can find, we probably don't need a 
separate function.
