Nothing to do with VMAPTI. With VMAPP, you need to provide the target
address (either the processor number or the redist base address). Since
I don't really want to expose these gory details, I've settled on using
the collection id as an identifier for the target address (see how VMAPP
is implemented).

That's to be used in the hypervisor to indicate that an interrupt is
actually pending when scheduling the vPE out. This can also be updated
by KVM itself when receiving a doorbell interrupt.

Thanks,
