I think adding kvm_make_request() to all call sites is too big without particular gain. And also leave a comment above kvm_set_rflags() maybe isn't needed as rflags updates is an site that can trigger event injection. Please see commit (3842d135ff24 KVM: Check for pending events before attempting injection) for detail.
What do you think? Thanks for your review anyway. :)
