+Indicates that the VCPU's in-kernel local APIC received an EOI for a
+level-triggered IOAPIC interrupt.  This exit only triggers when the
+IOAPIC is implemented in userspace (i.e. KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP is enabled);
+the userspace IOAPIC should process the EOI and retrigger the interrupt if
+it is still asserted.  Vector is the LAPIC interrupt vector for which the
+EOI was received.
