Of course! Now that I see, it's not that clear. It's actually the
bitmap of the PMC(s) that we should expect an interrupt from. I'll a
comment in v2.

I think you are right. At least in the current state of the patch, we
don't need this lock, nor do we explicitly have to enable/disable IRQs
to deal with a race. I've checked further patches as well, and even in
the case of multi-vCPU config, we wouldn't need it as the
guest_irq_data is per-cpu.
(Probably I introduced it by forward-thinking things). Thanks for
catching this. I'll remove it in v2.

Sure, I can do that to keep things safe.

I believe I have a comment explaining it in the upcoming patches.
Should've had it on this
one though. I'll move it in v2.

Yes, I may have to tweak the comment to make things clear.
