No, that won't work due to how struct apic works and how
apic_set_eoi_write patches it.  One possibility then is to add a

        void (*native_eoi_write)(u32 reg, u32 v);

field to struct apic, and make apic_set_eoi_write set

	(*drv)->native_eoi_write = (*drv)->eoi_write;
	(*drv)->eoi_write = eoi_write;

Then kvm.c can call

	apic->native_eoi_write(reg, v);

Thanks,
