Cool!

Now that I think about it, since guest debug flags are per-vcpu, this code won't
work if there are multiple vCPUs and you enable KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ on all of them
and then disable on this flag on just one of vCPUs, because this code will re-enable APICv/AVIC in this case.
A counter is needed, like you did in synic/autoeoi case.

I'll send a V3 soon.
