[PATCH RFC] kvm: deliver msix interrupts from irq handler

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Wed Jan 18 2012 - 13:08:11 EST


We can deliver certain interrupts, notably MSIX,
from atomic context. Add a new API kvm_set_irq_inatomic,
that does exactly that, and use it to implement
an irq handler for msi.

This reduces the pressure on scheduler in case
where host and guest irq share a host cpu.

Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

Untested.
Note: this is on top of my host irq patch.
Probably needs to be rebased to be independent
and split up to new API + usage.
