Explicitly restrict fastpath ICR writes to IPIs that are "fast", i.e. can be delivered without having to walk all vCPUs, and that target at most 16 vCPUs. Artificially restricting ICR writes to physical mode guarantees at most one vCPU will receive in IPI (because x2APIC IDs are read-only), but that delivery might not be "fast". E.g. even if the vCPU exists, KVM might have to iterate over 4096 vCPUs to find the right one. Limiting delivery to fast IPIs aligns the WRMSR fastpath with kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic() (which also runs with IRQs disabled), and will allow dropping the semi-arbitrary restrictions on delivery mode and type.

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 reStructuredText 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.
