From: Anup Patel <anup.patel@wdc.com>

The guest external interrupts from an interrupt controller are
delivered only when the Guest/VM is running (i.e. V=1). This means
any guest external interrupt which is triggered while the Guest/VM
is not running (i.e. V=0) will be missed on QEMU resulting in Guest
with sluggish response to serial console input and other I/O events.

To solve this, we check and inject interrupt after setting V=1.
