It'd be nice if the KVM weenies amongst us were to be told why one would want to inject interrupts into a KVM guest.

So I assume that this patchset will be merged if/when a user of it is merged? > The first patch will require mainline buy-in, particularly from Davide > (cc'd). The last patch is kvm specific. Three EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()s. Once the shouting has subsided I'd suggest that this be merged via the KVM tree.
