Hi Sean,

> Talking to myself :-)
A good monologue. :)

As you said, PPR is updated constantly with kvm_vcpu_has_events() anyways.

Actually implicit updates, especially in kvm_apic_has_interrupt(), makes it a
bit difficult to follow when these updates take place. It is quite easy to
accidentally make an update in architecturally incorrect place. Could be
useful to make it explicit.

It fixes the issue. Thanks a lot Sean!

Kind regards,
Markku
