Use the event channels for the PV. For PCIe devices (passthrough)
use the APIC.

The thought I had was that with VT-D posted interrupts would
do the heavy lifting. And when the interrupts do get to us and
have to vmexit - well we would do the normal HVM path for those
that are interested.
And for those that want the event callback vector - we can still
do that. I hadn't thought much of details on this yet -perhaps
this should be discussed next Developer summit to hash some of
this out.
