      KVM: lapic: do not scan IRR when delivering an interrupt

      On interrupt delivery the PPR can only grow (except for auto-EOI),
      so it is impossible that non-auto-EOI interrupt delivery results
      in KVM_REQ_EVENT.  We can therefore use __apic_update_ppr.

However, they added a small change, documented in brackets as

  [RHEL: no auto_eoi_bitmap because there's no Hyper-V synthetic
   interrupts support]

What this little change did was to *silently* break Hyper-V synthetic
interrupts with AutoEOI *only*, making our vmbus-enabled VMs to hang
early at boot.  (If they really wanted to disable Hyper-V SynIC they
just needed a one-liner to drop the corresponding capability from the
list of supported ones.)

For details see (RHEL subscription required)

Undo this breakage.
