Could you check if this quick-hack obsoletes the above hack?

I was hoping it has some influence on our 64-bit Windows issue, but it
hasn't, or it's still buggy, or both. However, its intention is to
reassert still pending level-triggered IRQs on APIC EOI. This logic is
missing in the user space model but exists in KVM's kernel model (I was
asking for a test against the latter but unfortunately did not receive
an answer - I bet you already don't need your patch over qemu-kvm).

Thanks,
Jan

Oh, sorry for not replying there. I work on qemu.git, so the in-kernel apic is out of question for testing. I tried merging qemu-kvm.git and qemu.git several times and every time just wasted a few hours of my life, so I gave up on testing things on qemu-kvm.git.

The patch works though. If everybody agrees to take it, we can drop patch 7/7 of my ahci set.

Ah, I see. Marcelo recently merged back, resolving the tricky bits, and
now it should be much easier. Anyway.

Cool! I've a few more minor things to clean up here and will sent that
as a series later today, also for 0.14.
