Subject: [RFC PATCH 8/8] irq: boost/unboost in irq/nmi entry/exit and softirq

The host proactively boosts the VCPU threads during irq/nmi injection.
However, the host is unaware of posted interrupts, and therefore, the
guest should request a boost if it has not already been boosted.

Similarly, guest should request an unboost on irq/nmi/softirq exit if
the vcpu doesn't need the boost any more.
