Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: set KVM_REQ_EVENT on local interrupt request from
user space

Set KVM_REQ_EVENT when a PIC in user space injects a local interrupt.

Currently a request is only made when neither the PIC nor the APIC is in the kernel, which is not sufficient in the split IRQ chip case.

This addresses a problem in QEMU where interrupts are delayed until another path invokes the event loop.
