You can certainly backport these patches to distros that do not have
VFIO. But upstream we should work on VFIO first. VFIO has feature
parity with legacy device assignment, and adding a new feature that is
not in VFIO would be a bad idea.
By the way, do you have benchmark results for it? We have not been able
to see any performance improvement for APICv on e.g. netperf.
