Would be more consistent to change that assignment instead ...
If we dropped the idea that struct kvm_lapic_irq fields can be bitORed
to get the ICR, we could also easily change trig_mode/dest_mode to bool
level_trig/logical_dest.  (I can do a followup patch.)

Vector can be u8.

I'd prefer to have the u8 vector as well, but it works,
