[PATCH v3 36/62] KVM: x86: Don't update IRTE entries when old and new routes were !MSI
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Jun 11 2025 - 18:59:18 EST
Skip the entirety of IRTE updates on a GSI routing change if neither the
old nor the new routing is for an MSI, i.e. if the neither routing setup
allows for posting to a vCPU. If the IRTE isn't already host controlled,
KVM has bigger problems.
