I don't think CAP_MP_STATE should be treated as an optional feature.

You should probably just setup VMState such that it directly saves 
kvm_lapic_state and then have the pre/post functions call the kernel 
ioctls to sync it.  There's not a whole lot of point switching the state 
between two different structures.

Same applies here as ioapic.  Should be a separate device.
