This is in an #ifdef, the #else needs a stub (for MIPS).

I vote for kvm_init_irq_routing() to make it more obvious that the API is purely
for initializing the routing, i.e. only to be used at VM creation.  Then the
"lockless" tag is largely redundant.  And then maybe add a comment about how this
creates an empty routing table?  Because every time I look at this code, it takes
me a few seconds to remember how this is actually an empty table.

This is too late.  It might not matter in practice, but the call before this is
to kvm_arch_post_init_vm(), which quite strongly suggests that *all* common setup
is done before that arch hook is invoked.

Calling this right before kvm_arch_init_vm() seems like the best/easiest fit, e.g.
