The trouble was that clearing the idt_vectoring_info before handling
the exit_reason would lead to the handle_exception to fail setting the
irq_pending bit because is_external_interrupt was run on zero instead
of the vmcs IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD, so it didn't notice it was an
external interrupt generating the exit.
This makes the userland irqchip code work again for me, there seem to
be no good reason to clear this value before returning in guest mode
and only setting it to zero didn't look an effective debugging aid, so
it's a microoptimization for the kernel irqchip too.
