From 07975ad3b30579ca27d880491ad992326b930c63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kiszka Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:14:12 +0200 Subject: KVM: Introduce direct MSI message injection for in-kernel irqchips Currently, MSI messages can only be injected to in-kernel irqchips by defining a corresponding IRQ route for each message. This is not only unhandy if the MSI messages are generated "on the fly" by user space, IRQ routes are a limited resource that user space has to manage carefully. By providing a direct injection path, we can both avoid using up limited resources and simplify the necessary steps for user land.
