Subject: [PATCH v3 36/62] KVM: x86: Don't update IRTE entries when old and new
 routes were !MSI

Skip the entirety of IRTE updates on a GSI routing change if neither the
old nor the new routing is for an MSI, i.e. if the neither routing setup
allows for posting to a vCPU.  If the IRTE isn't already host controlled,
KVM has bigger problems.
