VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from
direct-assigned devices can be delivered to guests without VMM
intervention when guest is running in non-root mode.
You can find the VT-d Posted-Interrtups Spec. in
Update Posted-Interrupts descriptor according to the
following rules:
- Before VCPU block, set 'NV' to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR
- After VCPU block, set 'NV' back to POSTED_INTR_VECTOR

We don't need to migrate the irqs for VT-d Posted-Interrtups here.
When 'pst' is set in IRTE, the associated irq will be posted to
guests instead of interrupt remapping. The destination of the
interrupt is set in Posted-Interrupts Descriptor, and the migration
happens during VCPU scheduling.
Signe
Currently, we use a global vector as the Posted-Interrupts
Notification Event for all the VCPUs in the system. We need
to introduce another global vector for VT-d Posted-Interrtups,
which will be used to wakeup the sleep VCPU when an external
interrupt from a direct-assigned device happens for that
Currently, we don't support urgent interrupt, all interrupts
are recognized as non-urgent interrupt, so we cannot send
posted-interrupt when 'SN' is set.

When VCPU is blocked and an external interrupts from assigned
devices is delivered to it, VT-d Posted-Interrupts mechanism
will deliver a interrrupt to the associated physical CPU with
Wake-up Vector. In its handler, we find the destination VCPU
and wake up it.
