I don't understand the change either, I suggest asking the kvmm 
developer who accepted it.

Hi Paolo, We have a small confusion about commit
bab5bb398273bb37547a185f7b344b37c700d0b9. It looks like the patch
removed a call to function kvm_make_request() and introduced a new
function kvm_set_pending_timer() which is just calling
kvm_make_request() again. and the commit message just says "Adds a
function kvm_vcpu_set_pending_timer instead of calling
kvm_make_request in lapic.c.".

It's just a cosmetic change; and yes, I know who the author is.

Paolo
