This is too similar to kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic(). Why not reuse it. We
can use one of reserved delivery modes as PV delivery mode. We will
disallow guest to trigger it through apic interface, so this will not be
part of ABI and can be changed at will.

Why this is the only safe place? Why clearing it in kvm/x86.c just after
call to kvm_vcpu_block() if KVM_REQ_UNHALT is set is not safe enough?
