-		 * Currently, we don't support urgent interrupt,

+		 * been set in PIR before this function.
+		 *
+		 * Following cases will be reached in this block, and
+		 * we always send a notification event in all cases as
+		 * explained below.
+		 *
+		 * Case 1: vcpu keeps in non-root mode. Sending a
+		 * notification event posts the interrupt to vcpu.
+		 *
+		 * Case 2: vcpu exits to root mode and is still
+		 * runnable. PIR will be synced to vIRR before the
+		 * next vcpu entry. Sending a notification event in
+		 * this case has no effect, as vcpu is not in root
+		 * mode.
 		 *
-		 * If the vcpu is in guest mode, it means it is
-		 * running instead of being scheduled out and
-		 * waiting in the run queue, and that's the only
-		 * case when 'SN' is set currently, warning if
-		 * 'SN' is set.
+		 * Case 3: vcpu exits to root mode and is blocked.
+		 * vcpu_block() has already synced PIR to vIRR and
+		 * never blocks vcpu if vIRR is not cleared. Therefore,
+		 * a blocked vcpu here does not wait for any requested
+		 * interrupts in PIR, and sending a notification event
+		 * which has no effect is safe here.
