Missing 'the', twice.

Please mark these with 'extern', as customary in x86 headers.

Why is this on two lines, not a single line?

Does the hypervisor model the APIC EOI command, i.e. does it require the 
APIC to be acked? I.e. would not acking the APIC create an IRQ storm?

Nothing appears to be setting acrn_intr_handler, so this will never 
execute anything? Is more code relying on this?
