(I think that smp_mb here would make sense, even though we're fine now

Right, though only a smp_mb__after_atomic() is required (which is a
compiler barrier).  It is similarly required in vmx.

True, kvm_lapic_set_vector uses a lock prefix.

(I thought it behaves like atomic_set, which would require MFENCE for
  correct ordering here ... I don't like smp_mb__after_atomic much
  because of the discrepancy on some atomic operations.)


So, should i just use smb_mb() in this case?
