We have seen issues when both fields are filled out and delaying the
V_IRQ injection until the next opportunity alleviates these problems.
We are looking into root cause and will then remove this code and allow
both EventInj and V_IRQ simultaneously, but timeframe on when that will
be is a bit unknown at this point.  Clearly we would want to take
advantage of the ucode's ability to support both fields on the same
vmrun!
We have though, thoroughly tested (we believe) these patches.
Let me know if you have any other concerns/questions..
