[PATCH 0/1] Fix for a recent regression in kvm/queue (guest using 100% cpu time)

I did a quick bisect yesterday after noticing that my VMs started
to take 100% cpu time.

Looks like we don't ignore SIPIs that are received while the CPU isn't
waiting for them, and that makes KVM think that CPU always has
pending events which makes it never enter an idle state.

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
