This will cause a qemu crash when apic_state is NULL (non-SMP 486
systems). Moreover: wrong indention.

You know that this won't work for qemu-kvm with in-kernel irqchip? You
may want to provide a patch for that tree, emulating the unavailable
LINT1 injection via testing the APIC configration and then raising an
NMI as before if it is accepted.
