PATCH 1/1 kvm: dont clear TMR on EOI

Intel spec says that TMR needs to be set/cleared when IRR is set, but kvm also clears it on EOI.

I did some tests on a real (AMD based) system, and I see same TMR values both before
and after EOI, so I think it's a minor bug in kvm.

This patch fixes TMR to be set/cleared on IRR set only as per spec.

And now that we don't clear TMR, we can save an atomic read of TMR on EOI that's not propagated to ioapic, by checking whether ioapic needs a specific vector first and calculating the mode afterwards.

Intel spec says that TMR needs to be set/cleared when IRR is set, but kvm also clears it on EOI.

I did some tests on a real (AMD based) system, and I see same TMR values both before
and after EOI, so I think it's a minor bug in kvm.

This patch fixes TMR to be set/cleared on IRR set only as per spec.

And now that we don't clear TMR, we can save an atomic read of TMR on EOI that's not propagated to ioapic, by checking whether ioapic needs a specific vector first and calculating the mode afterwards.

Looks OK, ioapic_service -> accept_apic_irq will set TMR again if IRR is raised. Gleb, can you review please?
