Actually, it looks like you *do* in fact get a
pi_notification_interrupt() in this case. Could we to check to see if
the current vcpu is blocked and unblock it?
I haven't yet decided whether I prefer my original suggestion of
switching the interrupt and putting things on the wake-up list in
vcpu_block(), or of deferring adding things to the wake-up list until
the actual context switch.
