+Type:  VM ioctl
+Parameters: None
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error

+Create a local apic for each processor in the kernel.  This differs from
+KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP in that it only creates the local apic; it creates neither
+the ioapic nor the pic in the kernel. Also, enables in kernel routing of
+interrupt requests. Fails if VCPU has already been created, or if the irqchip is
+already in the kernel.
