Updated from -41. Now my libkvm-using-tool's
kvm_callbacks->try_push_interrupts() callback isn't called any more.
Hmm. Guess due to the lapic/irqchip changes. Are there any additional
initializations I have to do now?

As there isn't any real pic-like hardware emulated maybe using
try_to_push_interrupts is a bad idea anyway and I should better move the
code (checks state and calls kvm_inject_irq() if needed) to the
pre_kvm_run() callback?

hints anyone?
