We can easily route hardware interrupts directly into VM context when
they target the "Fixed" or "LowPriority" delivery modes.

However, on modes such as "SMI" or "Init", we need to go via KVM code
to actually put the vCPU into a different mode of operation, so we can
not post the interrupt

Add code in the VMX PI logic to explicitly refuse to establish posted
mappings for advanced IRQ deliver modes.

This fixes a bug I have with code which configures real hardware to
inject virtual SMIs into my guest.

I would also mention in commit message that one can see this is also
true in KVM’s vLAPIC code. i.e. __apic_accept_irq() can call
kvm_x86_ops->deliver_posted_interrupt() only in case deliver-mode is
either “Fixed” or “LowPriority”.

With some small improvements I written inline below:

I recommend we will chose to print here a string that is different than the !kvm_intr_is_single_vcpu()
case to make it easier to diagnose which case exactly failed.
