Applied, though I wonder if it is really needed by those other VMMs (which? gVisor is the only one that comes to mind that is interested in userspace APIC).
It shouldn't be necessary for in-kernel APIC (where userspace can inject interrupts at any time), and ready_for_interrupt_injection is superior for userspace APIC.
