Turns out Hyper-V on KVM (as of 2016) will only use synthetic timers
if direct mode is available. With direct mode we notify the guest by
asserting APIC irq instead of sending a SynIC message.

The series was tested with Hyper-V on KVM as well as kvm-unit-tests.
I'm including Qemu a kvm-unit-tests patches for testing purposes.
