[PATCH v7 16/17] KVM: Warn if 'SN' is set during posting interrupts by software

From: Feng Wu
Date: Tue Aug 25 2015 - 05:05:18 EST


Currently, we don't support urgent interrupt, all interrupts
are recognized as non-urgent interrupt, so we cannot post
interrupts when 'SN' is set.

If the vcpu is in guest mode, it cannot have been scheduled out,
and that's the only case when SN is set currently, warning if
SN is set.
