Not only SVI update. It also includes ISR and PPR update. During PPR update, a new pending interrupt may be recognized and inject to guest.

If there is a pending interrupt, will it be recognized? I am not looking into the Hyper-V enlightenments code, not sure whether it already covers interrupt recognition. But if it doesn't do it, then we need to do it.
