Subject: [PATCH 00/15] KVM: x86: Add I/O APIC kconfig, delete irq_comm.c

This series is prep work for the big device posted IRQs overhaul[1], in which
Paolo suggested getting rid of arch/x86/kvm/irq_comm.c[2].  As I started
chipping away bits of irq_comm.c to make the final code movement to irq.c as
small as possible, I realized that (a) a rather large amount of irq_comm.c was
actually I/O APIC code and (b) this would be a perfect opportunity to further
isolate the I/O APIC code.

So, a bit of hacking later and voila, CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC.  Similar to KVM's SMM
and Xen Kconfigs, this is something we would enable in production straightaway,
if we could magically fast-forwarded our kernel, as fully disabling I/O APIC
emulation puts a decent chunk of guest-visible surface entirely out of reach.

Side topic, Paolo's recollection that irq_comm.c was to hold common APIs between
x86 and Itanium was spot on.  Though when I read Paolo's mail, I parsed "ia64"
as x86-64.  I got quite a good laugh when I eventually realized that he really
did mean ia64 :-)
