[PATCH 0/3] KVM: lapic: optimize injection of already-expired timer

[Paolo Bonzini]

This is my take on Wanpeng's optimization, whose effect I've now measured
with vmexit.flat.  Indeed, without patch 3 the new tscdeadline_immed
benchmark is 50% slower with preemption_timer=1 than with preemption_timer=0.

Patch 1 refactors start_hv_timer to prepare for the next one and to
simplify Wanpeng's patch (a lot).  Patch 2 avoids a bug that I didn't
catch in my earlier review: kvm_x86_ops->set_timer must not be called
directly when the TSC goes backwards.
