I'm not sure if this is a general or a windows specific question, but I
can approach this in one of two ways...
1. Make sure the interrupt is only ever delivered to CPU0 by specifying
the affinity when I call IoConnectInterrupt
2. Accept the interrupt on any CPU but always use vcpu_info[0] to check
the flags etc.
Does the hypervisor make any scheduling assumptions upon delivering an
event to a domain? (eg does it schedule CPU0 on the basis that that CPU
is going to be handling the event?)
Thanks
James
