Or also framed as an inefficiency that we depend on the GALog (for a running vCPU) for interrupt delivery until the put+load cycle happens. I don't think I ever reproduced the missed interrupt case in our stress testing.

For what is worth:
Reviewed-by: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com>
I think Alejandro had reported his testing as successful here:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/caefe41b-2736-3df9-b5cd-b81fc4c30ff0@oracle.com/
OTOH, he didn't give the Tested-by explicitly
