So now we have another IPI with statistics and nothing which makes it
accessible. kvm_posted_intr_ipis lacks a printout in
arch_show_interrupts() as well.

The naming sucks. Which wakeup?

As this is kvm specific, it should have a kvm_ prefix. And it should
tell what it actually does:

kvm_posted_intr_wakeup_handler

Hmm?

Why do we need a conditional here?

staic void dummy_handler(void) { }
static void *kvm_posted_intr_wakeup_handler = dummy_handler;

void kvm_set_posted_intr_wakeup_handler(void (*handler)(void))
{
if (handler)
kvm_posted_intr_wakeup_handler = handler;
else
kvm_posted_intr_wakeup_handler = dummy_handler;
}

avoids the conditional in the exception handler....
