In the virtualization scenario, you can use pvipi to optimize the sending of
IPI interrupts and reduce the number of vmexit.
rps_using_pvipi test
Test guest: 32 core, 64G memory, virtio-net 8 queues, rss interrupt is bound
to 24-31 core. Observe the number of vmexit of 31 cores.

enable rps_using_pvipi 9195 vmexit/s
3. 2000000pps
2000 iperf instances, 1000pps per instance.
disable rps_using_pvipi 24746 vmexit/s
enable rps_using_pvipi 7292 vmexit/s
Enabling rps_using_pvipi can greatly reduce the number of vmexit.
