Needs to go farther.  E.g. "KVM: selftests: Verify vCPU migration during IRQ delivery"
should be ~4 patches:

 1. Add gettid() wrapper (because what you proposed doesn't compile for me).
 2. Add sched_getaffinity() wrapper *AND* convert existing users.
 3. Add pin_task_to_random_cpu()
 4. Implement IRQ bypass vCPU migration

Maybe combine #3 and #4?  Adding helpers/APIs without users isn't ideal, but
pin_task_to_random_cpu() is interesting enough that I think it's worth isolating
in this case.

All of these shortlogs need more context.  E.g. "Add xAPIC support" suggests the
patch adds xAPIC support to _all_ of selftests.  We generally discourage trying
to set the scope to a specific test, because it inevitably falls apart, but it's
easy enough to "manually" call out the relevant test.
