KVM: Userspace controlled irq routing
Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely,
0-15 are mapped 1:1 to both PIC and IOAPIC, and 16:23 are mapped 1:1 to
the IOAPIC). This is insufficient for several reasons:
- HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt
- MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them
- ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the
ioapics
This patch implements an interrupt routing table (as a linked list, but this
can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table. The
routing table is initialized according to the current hardwired mapping.
