s/pmu/pmi, and this needs a verb.  Maybe kvm_handle_guest_pmi()?  Definitely
open to other names.

Unless I misunderstand the code, this can/should be a full WARN_ON_ONCE.  If a
PMI skids all the way past vcpu_put(), we've got big problems.

Hmm, a few patches late, but the "kvm" scope is weird.  This calls a core x86
function, not a KVM function.

And to reduce exports and copy+paste, what about something like this?

void x86_set_kvm_irq_handler(u8 vector, void (*handler)(void))
{
	if (!handler)
		handler = dummy_handler;

	if (vector == POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR)
		kvm_posted_intr_wakeup_handler = handler;
	else if (vector == KVM_GUEST_PMI_VECTOR)
		kvm_guest_pmi_handler = handler;
	else
		WARN_ON_ONCE(1);

	if (handler == dummy_handler)
		synchronize_rcu();
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(x86_set_kvm_irq_handler);
