We encountered a scenario in which after an INIT is delivered, a pending interrupt is delivered, although it was sent before the INIT. As the SDM states in section 10.4.7.1, the ISR and the IRR should be cleared after INIT as KVM does. This also means that pending interrupts should be cleared. This patch clears upon reset (and INIT) the pending interrupts; and at the same occassion clears the pending exceptions, since they may cause a similar issue.
