Paul Brook just committed a rather large changeset to abstract all the IRQ stuff through QEMU. This should make it pretty easy to implement in-kernel APIC without hacking the i8259 since all of the hardware emulation now takes a qemu_irq structure.

Once it settles down a little, it may be worth sync'ing KVM with QEMU CVS.

I've taken a look, it's quite good.

Yes.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
