Please read all my comments. That unfortunately also applies to the rest
of the patch.

That CAP test belongs where the injection shall happen. Here you decide
about user space vs. kernel space APIC model.

Let's try it together:

if kvm_enabled && kvm_irqchip_in_kernel
	run_on_cpu(kvm_apic_deliver_nmi)
else
	apic_local_deliver(APIC_LVT_LINT1)

with kvm_acpi_deliver_nmi like this:

if !check_extention(CAP_SET_LINT1)
	get_kernel_apic_state
	if !nmi_acceptable
		return
kvm_vcpu_ioctl(KVM_NMI)

Please don't trust me blindly and re-check, but this is how the scenario
looks like to me.

Thanks for your patience,
Jan
