There's something weird in this patch.  If you "inline" 
kvm_cpu_get_interrupt, what you get is this:

         int irq;

	/* Beginning of kvm_cpu_get_interrupt... */
         if (!irqchip_in_kernel(v->kvm))
                 irq = v->arch.interrupt.nr;
	else {
	        irq = kvm_cpu_get_extint(v); /* PIC */
	        if (!kvm_apic_vid_enabled(v->kvm) && irq == -1)
			irq = kvm_get_apic_interrupt(v); /* APIC */
	}

	/* kvm_cpu_get_interrupt done. */
	if (irq < 0 && kvm_apic_vid_enabled(vcpu->kvm))
		irq = kvm_get_apic_interrupt(vcpu);

There are just two callers of kvm_cpu_get_interrupt, and the other is 
protected by kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr so it won't be executed if 
virtual interrupt delivery is enabled.  So you patch is effectively the 
same as this:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/irq.c b/arch/x86/kvm/irq.c
index bd0da43..a1ec6a5 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kvm/irq.c
+++ b/arch/x86/kvm/irq.c

  	vector = kvm_cpu_get_extint(v);

-	if (kvm_apic_vid_enabled(v->kvm) || vector != -1)
+	if (vector != -1)
  		return vector;			/* PIC */

  	return kvm_get_apic_interrupt(v);	/* APIC */

But in kvm_get_apic_interrupt I have just added this comment:

         /* Note that we never get here with APIC virtualization
	 * enabled.  */

because kvm_get_apic_interrupt calls apic_set_isr, and apic_set_isr must 
never be called with APIC virtualization enabled either.  With APIC 
virtualization enabled, isr_count is always 1, and highest_isr_cache is 
always -1, and apic_set_isr breaks both of these invariants.
