Ahh, that's because you don't have CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC as you already 
mentioned.  So it looks like this error can manifest in two different ways 
and we got different reports.

This failure came from "KVM: VMX: Add the deliver posted interrupt 
algorithm", so adding Yang to the cc to specify the dependency this has on 
apic and how it can be protected without CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC on i386.
