/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -device pc-testdev -serial stdio 
-device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x4 -kernel ./x86/vmx.flat -cpu host

Test suite : interrupt
PASS: direct interrupt while running guest
PASS: intercepted interrupt while running guest
PASS: direct interrupt + hlt
FAIL: intercepted interrupt + hlt
PASS: direct interrupt + activity state hlt
PASS: intercepted interrupt + activity state hlt
PASS: running a guest with interrupt acknowledgement set

SUMMARY: 69 tests, 2 failures

However, interrupted interrupt + hlt always fail w/ and w/o my patch.
