Subject: [PATCH v2 12/18] KVM: x86: Explicitly check for in-kernel PIC when
 getting ExtINT

Explicitly check for an in-kernel PIC when checking for a pending ExtINT
in the PIC.  Effectively swapping the split vs. full irqchip logic will
allow guarding the in-kernel I/O APIC (and PIC) emulation with a Kconfig,
and also makes it more obvious that kvm_pic_read_irq() won't result in a
NULL pointer dereference.

Opportunistically add WARNs in the fallthrough path, mostly to document
that the userspace ExtINT logic is only relevant to split IRQ chips.
