Purge the "highest ISR" cache when updating APICv state on a vCPU. The
cache must not be used when APICv is active as hardware may emulate EOIs
(and other operations) without exiting to KVM.
This fixes a bug where KVM will effectively block IRQs in perpetuity due
to the "highest ISR" never getting reset if APICv is activated on a vCPU
while an IRQ is in-service. Hardware emulates the EOI and KVM never gets
a chance to update its cache.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
