Ok, got it now.  The problem is that deliver_posted_interrupt goes through

        if (!kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt(vcpu, false))
                kvm_vcpu_kick(vcpu);

Would it help to make the above

        if (vcpu != kvm_get_running_vcpu() &&
	    !kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt(vcpu, false))
                kvm_vcpu_kick(vcpu);

?  If that is enough for the APICv case, it's good enough.
