mainlining shenanigans

Async PF 'page ready' event may happen when LAPIC is (temporary) disabled. In particular, Sebastien reports that when Linux kernel is directly booted by Cloud Hypervisor, LAPIC is 'software disabled' when APF mechanism is initialized. On initialization KVM tries to inject 'wakeup all' event and puts the corresponding token to the slot. It is, however, failing to inject an interrupt (kvm_apic_set_irq() -> __apic_accept_irq() -> !apic_enabled()) so the guest never gets notified and the whole APF mechanism gets stuck. The same issue is likely to happen if the guest temporary disables LAPIC and a previously unavailable page becomes available. Do two things to resolve the issue: - Avoid dequeuing 'page ready' events from APF queue when LAPIC is disabled. - Trigger an attempt to deliver pending 'page ready' events when LAPIC becomes enabled (SPIV or MSR_IA32_APICBASE).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
