I was avoiding grabbing that lock, but now that I think about it it shouldn't do
much harm.

My only concern has mostly been whether we mark the IRQ isRunning=1 on a vcpu
that is about to block as then the doorbell rang by the IOMMU won't do anything
to the guest. But IIUC the physical ID cache read-once should cover that

Yeap, it should. I am gonna see if we can test this next week (even if not me,
but someone from my team)

Ah! Totally forgot about the ID cache from AVIC. And it's already paired with
barriers Maxim was alluding to. Much better than trying to get a safe read of
vcpu::cpu.

Other than that, looks to be good. To some extent we are doing an update_ga()
just like Dengqiao was doing, but with the right protection both from IR
perspective and safe read of the VCPU cpu.
