Subject: [PATCH 0/8] x86/irq: KVM: Optimize KVM's PIR harvesting

Optimizing KVM's PIR harvesting using the same techniques as posted MSIs,
most notably to use 8-byte accesses on 64-bit kernels (/facepalm).

Fix a few warts along the way, and finish up by adding a helper to dedup
the PIR harvesting code between KVM and posted MSIs.

Sean Christopherson (8):
  x86/irq: Ensure initial PIR loads are performed exactly once
  x86/irq: Track if IRQ was found in PIR during initial loop (to load
    PIR vals)
  KVM: VMX: Ensure vIRR isn't reloaded at odd times when sync'ing PIR
  x86/irq: KVM: Track PIR bitmap as an "unsigned long" array
  KVM: VMX: Process PIR using 64-bit accesses on 64-bit kernels
  KVM: VMX: Isolate pure loads from atomic XCHG when processing PIR
  KVM: VMX: Use arch_xchg() when processing PIR to avoid instrumentation
  x86/irq: KVM: Add helper for harvesting PIR to deduplicate KVM and
    posted MSIs
