Yes, you need to have Hyper-V role enabled, kvm-intel modules needs to
be loaded with 'nesting' support enabled.

The value is actually the default value which is supposed to be there:

"At virtual processor creation time, the default value of all SINTx
(synthetic interrupt source) registers is 0x0000000000010000." so I
guess this is just an intialization procedure.

Oh, no, I wasn't trying to -- and by the way we don't currently announce
SintPollingModeAvailable so guests are not supposed to do that. This is
rather a future proof to 'not forget'.

"Setting the polling bit will have the effect of unmasking an interrupt
source, except that an actual interrupt is not generated."

So, as I understand it, setting polling bit makes Vector value
irrelevant - the interrupt is not generated so I *assume* we may see
writes with zero Vector and polling bit set. But again, we're not
implementing polling mode for now, I can just drop it from the patch if
you think it is confusing.
