Well. If it can be made work as intended, then I certainly agree. However,
without even the concept of pIRQ in PVH I'm having a hard time seeing how
it can be made work. Iirc you were advocating for us to not introduce pIRQ
into PVH.

Maybe you're thinking of re-using the sub-ops, requiring PVH domains to
pass in GSIs? I think I suggested something along these lines also to
Jiqian, yet with the now intended exposure to !has_pirq() domains I'm
not sure this could be made work reliably.

Which reminds me of another question I had: What meaning does the pirq
field have right now, if Dom0 would issue the request against a PVH DomU?
What meaning will it have for a !has_pirq() HVM domain?
